WANDERERS have confirmed Paul Aldridge will work in a new-look football management team.

The former Sheffield Wednesday vice-chairman and chief executive has joined the club on a consultancy basis to work alongside John Pelling in reporting to the club’s board.

Dean Holdsworth will now be Wanderers’ director of football.

Chairman Ken Anderson said: “Paul is someone who knows the football landscape very well. He has top level experience and I am sure he will strengthen our existing senior manager team at the club.

“I am sure everyone will join me in welcoming Paul to Bolton Wanderers Football Club.”

Aldridge had previously worked at Manchester City, Leicester City and West Ham United in a number of administrative roles.
