WANDERERS have confirmed the sale of their Euxton training base, with Wigan Athletic due to move in over the summer.

The club has released a statement confirming the sale of the old ROF Chorley Sports Ground, which has been their home for more than 15 years.

It is understood that the club will recieve £2.2million for the sale of the site and do not have a clause allowing them to repurchase it in the future.

"Bolton Wanderers can announce that the club has concluded a deal to sell its Euxton training ground," the club said this morning.

“The facility will now be solely owned by Huron Properties, with another North West football club set to be based at the Euxton site from this coming summer.

“In the period leading up to Easter, the Bolton Wanderers first team and backroom staff will begin a process to relocate permanently to a combination of both the club’s Lostock training ground and Macron Stadium.”

Wigan have been on the lookout for a new training base for a number of years as they look to upgrade their academy.

Currently based at Christopher Park in Standish, they are expected to amalgamate both their senior and youth teams at Euxton from next season.
