Ali Al-Habsi insists he is happy at Bolton Wanderers.

The Oman goalkeeper is playing second fiddle to No1 Jussi Jaaskelainen at the Reebok.

Al-Habsi told the Bolton News: "This season I played just two games - and one of them was at Chelsea in the Carling Cup . . . a hard game, obviously. Don't get me wrong, it was good to play against Chelsea but there were three games before that when I didn't play.

"But I have patience, I have respect for my club and respect for my contract and, in the end, it's the gaffer's choice who plays.

"I am happy here. Bolton is a fantastic football club, fantastic people to work with, and you never know in football . . . you never know what tomorrow brings.

"The most important thing for me is to work 200 per cent and when my chance comes to be ready to take it."
