Zach Clough signs contract extension

Zach Clough has signed a contract extension with Bolton Wanderers, with striker’s deal now set to run until 2017.

Clough netted the winning goal on his first team debut against Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup last weekend.

And Neil Lennon has now moved to tie the 19-year-old to the club on a longer contract.

Bit of faith in the lad, good move hope it motivates him.

 Owen Coyle syndrome strikes again. One good performance and he gets a new contract. I'm glad Zat Knight isn't still around.

I'm sure it was all about that game and nothing else.

I know, pretty stupid right?

You don't think it's worth signing up a decent 19 year old until he's 22 to see if he progresses then Nat?

Not after one game meaningless friendly.

I suspect he's going to get a few games while Lee is sunning himself so why not wait until February?

It's ridiculous and you know it.

It's only a two year deal so can't be serious money.  Although I agree with Nat ......all this off one game?

On the other hand if he does become a world beater he will walk for nowt to Everton or somewhere like that and only be 21 at the time.  So posters on here will be screaming then that we didn't sign him up for longer.  You can't win really.

Another good move for Lennon though .... he's golden at the moment.

Why do you believe that clough has been offered a new deal off the back of one game? That's obviously not the case

You are probably correct with that.  But it's quite a coincidence isn't it.

Ha ha, of course that's the case. If he'd been shit on Saturday no way would he have a new contract.

His contract was already drawn up, it makes sense to announce it after his debut

Bollocks. It was another knee-jerk reaction to a good performance. If Liam Trotter has a good game on Saturday he'll probably get a 5 year contract and all the hookers he can handle.
