England youth international striker joins after compensation package agreed with Crewe
Bolton Wanderers have completed the signing of free agent Max Clayton after agreeing a compensation package with Crewe Alexandra.
The 20-year-old striker left Crewe at the end of last season after his contract with the Railwaymen expired and spent time training with Sunderland, Wolves and Bolton over the course of the summer.
And Dougie Freedman has now moved to bring the England youth international to Macron Stadium on a permanent deal.
Clayton has signed a three-year contract with the club.
During his time with hometown club Crewe Clayton made a total of 92 appearances, scoring 16 goals.
Clayton is eligible for the weekend’s game against Wolves at Molineux.
