Ian Evatt believes the acquisition of Jack Iredale this summer and his ability to play at both in the heart of defence and wing-back has saved Bolton Wanderers having to make two signings in that area this summer with the signing due to play in the latter position later in pre-season.
The 26-year-old is the club's only permanent signing so far this summer. His signature was secured on a three-year deal not long after the last campaign ended and joined Wanderers on a three-year deal on a free transfer from Cambridge United.
Iredale has featured in the club's opening three pre-season friendlies. He has lined up on the left of a back three and has been rotating in the position with George Johnston, who played that role last season.
