EFL Championship outfit Bolton Wanderers have announced the signing of former Nigeria U20 international Sammy Ameobi on a one-year contract.

This is Ameobi's second spell at the Trotters, having spent a portion of the 2016-2017 season on loan at the club from Newcastle United.

The 25-year-old joins Bolton Wanderers as a free agent after his contract was not renewed by The Magpies, where he spent nine years.

While on the books of Newcastle United, Sammy Ameobi also enjoyed loan spells with Middlesbrough and Cardiff City.

The winger and striker started training with his new Bolton Wanderers teammates on Friday morning.
