Jack Iredale only wanted to seal a move to Bolton after he learned of interest from Wanderers and believes Gethin Jones was 'instrumental' in reinforcing his desire to come to the club.
The 26-year-old joined Wanderers as the club's first summer signing. He signed a three-year deal with the Whites after departing Cambridge United on a free transfer.
He has travelled out to Portugal to take part in his new club's week-long training camp on the Algarve. He is the only new signing to make the trip as loanees James Trafford and Conor Bradley have remained at home due to recent international duties.
