Bolton have been boosted by the news that two young guns have committed their futures to the club.

20-year old full-back Joe Riley and 21-year old Michael O'Halloran have been rewarded for their development with three-and-a-half-year contracts following the lead of fellow youngster Josh Vela and a trio of senior players.

"I'm delighted to get the three young players on board," Trotters boss Owen Coyle told the club's official website.

"It follows on from what we have done in securing the signatures of Fabrice Muamba, Chung-Yong Lee and Mark Davies on long contracts, building for the future of the club.

"To secure these three, who are supremely talented and have tremendous potential, is very pleasing.

"They are the kind of players who have caught the eyes of other clubs, and it is right that they should, so it's important we made themBolton Wanderers players for years to come."
