Tim Ream completes Bolton deal

Bolton have completed the signing of American international defender Tim Ream, after they successfully appealed for a work permit for the player. Ream joins Bolton for around 2.4 million GBP from MLS side New York Red Bulls.

Bolton completed the transfer on Thursday and the player put pen to paper on a three and a half year contract at the Reebok Stadium.


Ream cancelled his honeymoon as he completed a move to Bolton, and will link up with his new team mates next week. Ream played over 58 times in the MLS for the Red Bulls.


Tim Ream has been brought in to replace Gary Cahill, who left for Chelsea earlier in the month.
