Bolton star off to top foreign club?

DAVID Wheater is considering ending an eight-and-a-half year association with Wanderers by moving to Scottish outfit Kilmarnock.

The 32-year-old fell out of contract at Bolton yesterday but has been offered a deal to play in the SPL next season.

Club skipper, Wheater, who lives in the town, was holding out hope that Wanderers’ ownership issues would be resolved quickly this summer, enabling him to discuss a new deal.

But with just a month now remaining before the start of the new season it is understood his representatives are now talking with Killie, who have also expressed an interest in keeper Jake Turner.

Kilmarnock qualified for the Europa League this season and play in the first qualifying round against Welsh side Conor Quay Nomads on July 11. They are currently in a pre-season training camp in Marbella.

Wheater signed for Bolton in January 2011 from Middlesbrough for £2.3million and – aside from a short spell as a free agent in the summer of 2017 – has been a first-team fixture under four different managers, not to mention a fans’ favourite on the terraces.

He has played 236 games for Bolton in all competitions and scored 16 goals.

Top foreign club? Sluffy has joined the clickbait club 

......and I wouldn't call him a star either.

He's a star to many at Bolton (not me either though) and he's potentially joining a club (non English)actually playing in Europe this season - so 'top' 'foreign' club is technically a correct description.

I put up the title for a bit of fun, stop being so miserable about it you two!

He has got a part-time job driving for Yodel.

OK Sluff- I'll admit he's a bit of a star

An Interesting move if it happens. Wheater has plenty of experience and might be just what Killie need. Looking at their squad they seem to have a lot of youth and more than a little talent. I can see Wheater playing an anchor role there in central defence. He did that quite well here when paired with Knight in particular. Yes I know Knight was pretty horrid but for some reason he and Wheater did OK together, much better than with Cahill and Wheater or Beevers and Wheater

They're paying him in Tunnock's.
