Parky signs new deal

Bolton Wanderers is delighted to confirm that manager Phil Parkinson and assistant manager Steve Parkin have both signed new contracts with the club.

The duo were appointed in the summer of 2016 and brought immediate success with Wanderers enjoying their best start to a league campaign in 82 years.

As well as guiding the club to an immediate return to the Sky Bet Championship following automatic promotion, Parkinson also received three Manager of the Month accolades through his debut season at Macron Stadium.

Parkinson said: “I am delighted to have agreed the new contract and I’m looking forward to building on the success we enjoyed last season.”

Parkin echoed the manager’s sentiments, saying, “I’m also delighted to have signed a new deal and we’re all relishing the challenges that the Sky Bet Championship will bring this season.”

Bolton Wanderers chairman Ken Anderson said: “I am delighted that Phil and Steve have agreed new deals which will enable them to help continue the progress the club has made under their leadership.

“We look forward to working together in order to achieve our goals.”

That hasn't been disclosed. All we can assume from this is that they're getting more money. No word or guarantee that they have even extended their current contracts.

Wasn't it on a one year rolling thingy? I think I read such. Have to see how it pans out I suppose.

Via BEN and Marc.

There was no Champagne toast for the diligent Whites boss as he penned a one-year rolling deal at the Macron this afternoon – and he set straight off on the road with chief scout Tim Breacker to suss out Saturday’s opponents, who take on Stevenage in the Carabao Cup tonight.

It seems we are playing it safe with short term deals incase things go wrong. Hopefully things don't go wrong though.

Turns out it's a 4 year deal according to the men on com tonight.

I don't believe for one minute they've given him a 4 year contract.
