Trotters seal Andrews swoop

Bolton have completed the signing of midfielder Keith Andrews on a three-year deal.

The Republic of Ireland international was a free agent after his contract at West Brom expired. Andrews agreed a short-term deal at The Hawthorns in January having arrived on a free transfer from Blackburn, making 14 appearances for the Baggies and scoring twice between the end of the season. He started all three of his country's games at Euro 2012, seeing red in the final Group C game against Italy, and the 31-year-old will offer vast experience to Owen Coyle's side. "We are pleased to have been able to bring in Keith early in the transfer window as there were a number of clubs interested in signing him," Coyle told Bolton's official website. "He is highly experienced both in domestic and international football and he will bring strength, competition and a goalscoring threat to our midfield."
