Reece Wabara: Bolton Wanderers sign defender until end of 2016-17 season

Reece Wabara won promotion from League One with Wigan last season before leaving the club

League One side Bolton Wanderers have signed defender Reece Wabara on a deal until the end of the season.

Wabara, 25, had been a free agent since leaving Wigan in the summer after promotion from the third tier.

The ex-Manchester City player had loan spells with Ipswich, Oldham, Blackpool and Doncaster while with the Premier League outfit before a move to the latter in 2014.

In a tweet, Wabara said he wanted to "aid in the promotion push."

Bolton are third in League One, two points behind second-placed Scunthorpe having played one game fewer.
