Cohen amazed by Bolton facilities compared to Israel

Bolton Wanderers midfielder Tamir Cohen admits his move from Israel was an eye-opener last year.

When Tamir, 25, signed for Bolton last year his mouth fell open at the contrast between the Premier League and Israeli football.

“In Israel it is so different and at such a low level,” Cohen, who signed from Maccabi Netanya, told The Times. “When I saw [Bolton’s] training ground, I think I’m dreaming.

“Seriously. A massive changing room, a gym, a pool and ice baths and many pitches and breakfast and lunch and computers.”
