Ian Evatt says Bolton Wanderers first team coach Sam Hird has turned down an approach from National League side York City as he is happy with the Whites.
Hird has been with Wanderers since last summer, joining the club as a coach and last season took charge of the club's reserves side. He has become a big part of Evatt's coaching staff at the Whites.
The 35-year-old was installed as the odds-on favourite for the job at York, following the departure of John Askey. Evatt confirmed that the former Barrow midfielder was approached by the Yorkshire club.
