Off contract Bolton Wanderers midfielder Ricardo Gardner has rejected terms at West Ham United.
Despite the lure of linking up with former Bolton boss Sam Allardyce at Upton Park in the npower Championship, the Jamaican is considering a short-term deal offered to him by Wanderers.
"It was very tempting for Ricardo to go and play for Sam, as a former manager, and one he enjoyed a lot of success with," Gardner's representative Phil Graham told The Bolton News.
"But he didn't particularly want to relocate, and his family certainly didn't want to relocate.
"He loves the club and the town, and wants to see his career out at Bolton, and more importantly in the Premier League."
