WANDERERS have sold youth team graduate Tyler Garratt for just £25,000 to Doncaster Rovers.

The 19-year-old defender impressed after graduating to the first team at the end of last season but had yet to put pen-to-paper on a new one-year deal at the Macron Stadium.

League Two Rovers have agreed to a number of add-on clauses linked to promotion, appearances and future sales but the left-back’s exit - particularly for such a low fee - has still come as a shock to Whites fans, who had tipped the youngster to cement this place this term.

Lincoln-born Garratt arrived at Bolton in 2013 and came through David Lee’s youth team to become a regular at Under-21 level.

He made his first team debut in a 2-1 defeat at Cardiff City, turning heads with a mature display after Wanderers had gone down to 10 men.

Garratt then started the next two games at left-back ahead of Dean Moxey, against Hull City and Fulham.

Darren Ferguson has made eight new signings this summer at Rovers following their relegation to League Two.
