Ben Davies has completed a move to Bolton Wanderers, leaving Rangers after four years.

The centre-back has today been confirmed as the English Championship new boys' latest summer signing, penning a two-year deal.

He spent last season on loan at Oxford United in the same division, making 10 appearances but not featuring in a matchday squad since February.

The 30-year-old follows Scottish midfielder David Watson in the door, after he moved on from Kilmarnock.

He told Wanderers TV: “It feels brilliant to be here. I heard of interest from a few clubs but as soon as I knew Bolton were interested, this was the club I wanted to come to.

“It’s going to be exciting times back in the Championship after an excellent year last season. I’ve seen that the average attendance last year was over 20,000 and that was a massive pull for me.

“I think my Championship experience can help the team on and off the pitch. I’ve met with the gaffer and I like his outlook on football and how he wants to play.

“It’s going to be amazing stepping out in front of our fans, I’ve played here a few times and the atmosphere has always been brilliant.”

Davies signed for Rangers from Liverpool in the summer of 2022 but only had one season as a regular, and had loans at Birmingham and Oxford in search of more game time.
