American midfielder Stuart Holden completed a trial at Premier
League club Bolton, and manager Owen Coyle is deciding whether to
offer him a contract.
While the 24-year-old Houston Dynamo player has been training
with Bolton this week, northwest rival Blackburn is also reportedly
interested.
Coyle, who took charge at Bolton last week, is still
reviewing if his relegation-threatened squad needs reinforcing
during the January transfer window.
"He has just come off an outstanding season in the MLS with
Houston Dynamo, he's a US international, so all we have to figure
out now is if he will enhance the squad," Coyle said in Friday's
editions of the Bolton News. "He's obviously got talent, good
technique and quick feet."
Holden, who is set to go with the U.S. to the World Cup, is
available at no fee for Bolton, which is in the Premier League
relegation zone.
