Stephen Ireland says he is keen to start playing regular football again after signing for Bolton Wanderers earlier this week following his release from Stoke.
The 32-year-old has joined the Trotters on a short-term deal after being released by Stoke in June. This followed their relegation from the Premier League in May, returning them to Championship football for the first time in ten years.
Speaking to the Bolton News, Ireland said: “It’s all a bit new. New club, new style of play, new teams to play against, new stadia, but I’m completely open-minded and looking forward to the whole experience.
