Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has named two summer signings for the club's final pre-season friendly against Huddersfield Town ahead of the start of the League One campaign.
Wanderers take on Huddersfield Town this afternoon at the University of Bolton Stadium. It will be the final game for the first team before the League One curtain raiser against the Tractor Boys at the end of the month.
The Whites returned for pre-season in mid-June before embarking on a week-long training camp on the Algarve in Portugal. They have since had a series of friendly matches to build up their fitness and match sharpness.

They have recorded wins against Longridge Town, Chorley and Watford, as a well as a draw versus Stockport County and a slim loss to Wigan Athletic. Last Saturday, Wanderers suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Carlisle United.
And the clash against the Terriers this afternoon is the first team's final pre-season friendly before the beginning of the League One campaign against the Tractor Boys. It will be the final chance for Evatt to see his team in action before then and is the last opportunity to try things out with his side before the season curtain raiser.
Evatt has named James Trafford as goalkeeper with a back three of Gethin Jones, Ricardo Santos and George Johnston. Liverpool loanee Conor Bradley is poised to start at right wing-back and Declan John is will be on the left flank.
In central midfield, MJ Williams is partnered by Aaron Morley. Kieran Lee is poised to be in the number 10 role.
And upfront, Dion Charles is partnered by Dapo Afolayan. On the bench this afternoon will be Joel Dixon, Kieran Sadlier, Amadou Bakayoko, Jack Iredale, Will Aimson, Kyle Dempsey, Elias Kachunga and George Thomason.
