Gudjohnsen features for Bolton reserves

Eidur Gudjohnsen was back in action for Bolton Wanderers on Monday night.

The Daily Mail says Gudjohnsen made his long-awaited return for Bolton on Monday night as the veteran forward came through 90 minutes unscathed, as the second string Wanderers' side fell to a narrow 2-1 defeat against Middlesbrough.

Gudjohnsen, a free agent after leaving Belgian side Club Brugge at the end of last season, has been training with the Championship side to maintain his fitness.

And Wanderers fans were able to see their former hero in action for the first time since his return to the club, as he played in an advanced midfield role against Boro under the watchful eye of Trotters boss Neil Lennon.

The 36-year-old is now expected to pen a short-term deal with the club within the next 48 hours.
