Bolton Wanderers manager Ian Evatt is looking forward to seeing his side pit their wits against higher league opposition.
The Whites are preparing for pre-season encounters with Watford, who were relegated from the Premier League, and Championship play-off final losers Huddersfield Town. There is also an upcoming clash against League Two Carlisle United, who finished the 2021/22 season strongly under Paul Simpson.
So far, Bolton have faced non-league outfits Chorley and Longridge Town, as well as Stockport County. Evatt's men drew 2-2 against last season's National League champions on Tuesday, with the game held at Carrington.
