Bolton Wanderers have confirmed the signing of veteran striker Eidur Gudjohnsen for the rest of the season.

The 36-year-old, who previously played for Wanderers between 1998-2000, has been training at the Macron Stadium for the last month and boss Neil Lennon said on Thursday that an agreement was imminent.

And the club confirmed on their Twitter account on Friday morning that a deal had been struck, saying: “BWFC have completed the signing of free agent Eidur Gudjohnsen on a deal until the end of the season.”

Bolton are now waiting for international clearance to see if the Icelandic forward, who went on to play for Chelsea and Barcelona after his stint with Bolton, will be available for Saturday's Sky Bet Championship trip to Reading.
