'Last minute' opportunity leads Bolton striker Nlundulu to St Mirren

St Mirren have signed striker Dan Nlundulu from Bolton Wanderers on a one-year deal.

Nlundulu started his career at Southampton, where he made 13 appearances in the English Premier League before signing for Bolton on a permanent basis in 2023.

The 26-year-old spent last season on loan at Cambridge United, scoring five goals in 30 appearances.

"Dan is someone we've looked at before when he was at Southampton," manager Stephen Robinson told club media.

"He's quick, strong, has a real ability and has become available at the last minute. We believe he gives us another strong option in the attacking area. He gives us that pace and strength that we perhaps lost when Toyosi Olusanya left.

"We've high hopes for him. We need to keep him fit. He's got a lot of talent but he's had a couple of injuries, which he's now over. He's someone we are really looking forward to working with and getting the best out of him.

"It's typical of our signings; players that have real talent but have maybe lost their way a little. We know he's a really good player and he'll be a really effective player for us going forward."
