Wheater Joins Trotters

Fee:Undisclosed (believed £2.3m)

WorldwideFootball understand Bolton Wanderers have completed the signing of Middlesbrough defender David Wheater for an undiscloed fee with Wheater signing a three and a half year deal.

Wheater, 23, is Owen Coyle's first signing of the transfer window and could make his debut at the Reebok on Monday when Bolton host Premier League champions Chelsea.

The central defender has made 138 appearances for Boro scoring 9 goals and although he was a memeber of the team that was relegated in 2009 he stayed hoping to get his boyhood team back into the top flight.

Signing for Bolton Wheater will hope the move will bring him to the attention of Fabio Capello and maybe get that elusive England cap to add to the 11 under 21 caps he has already recieved.

David Wheaters career:

2004-2011 - Middlesbrough - 138 apps (9 goals)
2006 - Doncaster Rovers (loan) - 7 apps (1 goal)
2006 - Wolverhampton Wanderers (loan) - 1 app
2007 - Darlington (loan) - 15 apps (2 goals)
