'Tradition continues' - Bolton Wanderers fans give verdict on Jon Dadi Bodvarsson transfer

Bolton Wanderers have wrapped up signing number five of the January transfer window with the addition of striker Jon Dadi Bodvarsson from Millwall.

The 29-year-old Iceland international joins on a free transfer and takes the number nine shirt recently vacated by Eoin Doyle.

Wanderers have already added Dion Charles, Aaron Morley, Marlon Fossey and James Trafford this window.

And Bodvarsson is available to make his Bolton debut this Saturday versus Shrewsbury Town.

He was in the final six months of his deal at the Den, but has been allowed to move to the University of Bolton Stadium on a free transfer and put pen to paper on an 18-month deal.

He becomes the latest Icelandic player to sign for Bolton, which includes the likes of Gudni Bergsson, Eidur Gudjohnsen and Gretar Steinsson.

And Wanderers fans have made that connection when commenting on the new signing.

James Cregan wrote: "Welcome aboard. Hopefully works out as well as some previous Icemen."

Kevin Fitzpatrick wrote: "Great signing."

Phil Parker wrote: "The Icelandic tradition resumes!"

Scott Bowers wrote: "Number 9 shirt too."

Joe Green wrote: "If he's half as good as some of the Icelandic players we've had he'll be a gooden. Let's hope the fans give him a chance!"
