Allardyce snaps up free agent Jansen

BOLTON have signed Matt Jansen after the striker was released by Premiership neighbours Blackburn.

The 28-year-old has signed until the end of the season and becomes manager Sam Allardyce’s second signing of the transfer window following the capture of Oman goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi.

Allardyce said: “Matt has great potential, even though he hasn’t been involved with Blackburn of late, and I do believe he has the right qualities to resurrect his career here at the Reebok.
