Bolton Wanderers are wrapping up the small details on their trio of new signings. They are working their way into the team slowly but surely and have just been officially handed their brand new kit numbers by the team. Because Bolton Wanderers have such a large first team with 36 players, the numbers were a bit out there.
Mohamed (Medo) Kamara will wear number 44 at Bolton, an ode to his number 4 shirt at Partizan.
Steve De Ridder will wear 42
Cian Bolger will wear 36
For the squad number traditionalists, the numbers are just strange. However, it may be a realistic reflection of what is expected from the two players listed second and third above. Taking a look at the current Bolton squad, the shirt numbers still available are: 6 (Fabrice Muamba's number), 10 (Martin Petrov's number), 13, and 20.
As an added bonus, Bolton posted a photo from the training ground of Medo getting a message:
