Ricardo Santos admits he would have wanted to sign an even longer contract at Bolton Wanderers after he agreed a new deal this summer and though he had options elsewhere he wanted to commit his future to the Whites.
The 27-year-old central defender joined Wanderers in the summer of 2020 and played every single game of the club's promotion season out of League Two. He followed that up with 43 appearances in the recently concluded 2021/22 campaign and has become instrumental to Ian Evatt's side.
Santos was installed as the club's captain last season following the departure of Antoni Sarcevic to Stockport County. He was crowned the club's players' player of the year at the end of season awards ceremony and has racked up a total of 91 appearances since joining the club.
