Butterfield rejoins Freedman

Bolton have signed Southampton's Danny Butterfield on loan until the end of the season.

The defender will rejoin his former Crystal Palace manager Dougie Freedman at the Reebok Stadium after finding first-team chances at St Mary's hard to come by.

Butterfield, whose only two appearances this season came in the Capital One Cup in the autumn, is Bolton's second deadline-day signing.

Ryan Hall arrived earlier in the day from West Ham as Freedman strengthens his options ahead of a final play-off push.
