PAWEL Olkowski has signed for Turkish side Gazisehir Gaziantep after leaving Wanderers this summer.
The Polish full-back terminated the last 12 months of his contract at the University of Bolton Stadium because of pay issues but has now agreed a two-year deal with Gazisehir, who were promoted to the top-flight last season.
Olkowski played 39 times for Wanderers and scored twice following his arrival as a free agent from German side FC Koln.
He had offers to return to Poland with Lech Poznan and, according to the Polish press, from English Championship clubs.

“We had no problem with proposals for Paweł,” Olkowski’s agent, Daniel Webber was quoted as saying. “He could have stayed in the Championship, but we decided that Gazisehir's offer and the project is interesting enough for him to join.”
Gazisehir are managed by Romanian coach Marius Sumudica and play at the 33,502-capacity Gaziantep Arena.
