Wanderers have made goalkeeper Luke Southwood their second signing of the summer, but what have fans had to say?
The 26-year-old, capped once by Northern Ireland, was ever-present for Cheltenham last season but turned down the chance to stay with the Robins after they were relegated to League Two.
Southwood's arrival bolsters Ian Evatt's goalkeeping department. Last term, Nathan Baxter and Joel Coleman featured in the league, with Luke Hutchinson also named on the bench at times.
Here's what Bolton supporters have said on social media about the new addition
Great signing

I touted this guy as a number 1 last season. Ecstatic about this

we are making the right signings so far being smart

Baxter and Southwood is a very strong pair of keepers

If he's come in to compete with Baxter then it's a sensational signing. He's has two really good seasons and is good enough to start games at this level.

Another L1 experienced but promising young player. No complaints. We absolutely need 22 first team level players next season.

I would like to see some quality veterans signed though. Players that can get a team through those tough games or sticky patches of form.
We now have 2 of the best keepers in the league..

Best backup in the league by a mile ๐ฎโ๐จ

Looks a smart signing. Baxter has had his injury issues, and is in the final year of his contract. Good to have a ready made replacement ready to go if needed #bwfc https://t.co/tTkOXjsr53

Canโt see him wanting to be on the bench
โ Dale (@BWFCDale95) June 21, 2024
Heโs a class keeper fair play

Wowโฆ. What a signing
