Bolton Wanderers have signed their second player of the summer, experienced English Rangers centre-back Ben Davies, 30, on a two-year deal. The defender will officially join the club in July when his contract expires. Davies revealed that while he had heard of interest from a few other clubs, he wanted to join Bolton as soon as he knew they were interested.
The move is part of a broader strategy outlined by Wanderers' sporting director, Fergal Harkin, who said that signing relevant free agents was an important first step in the club's plan to bring in four or five new players before pre-season training begins. During the 2025/2026 season, Davies was on loan at Oxford United, where he made 10 appearances and provided 1 assist in the Championship. His current Transfermarkt market value is €800k.
