Bolton Wanderers have confirmed the signings of defensive pair Zat Knight and Sam Ricketts via their official website.
Reports emerged in the media last night and this morning that the transfers were complete.
Knight,
who arrives from Aston Villa, and Ricketts, who has left Hull City,
have now agreed personal terms and have joined the club for undisclosed
fees.
The two stoppers have now flown out to the Netherlands to join the squad on their pre-season tour.
Of
the two signings, manager Gary Megson told the club's official website,
"We are really pleased that we could complete the deals. Both players
had other offers to consider.
"There was a huge amount of work done by the chairman, with the support of Eddie Davies, to make these [transfers] happen.
"I am sure that they will fit in to the squad and we are going to make sure that we help them with their new challenge.
"Zat
has plenty of Premier League experience and has played at the highest
level with England, while Sam personally had a successful debut Premier
League campaign with Hull."
Bolton play Borussia Moenchengladbach tonight.
