Bolton Wanderers have confirmed that Shola Ameobi has signed a short-term contract at the club following a recent trial.
The former Newcastle United striker has been without a club since being released by Crystal Palace at the end of last season following a five-month spell.
Charlton Athletic reportedly rejected the opportunity to sign Ameobi on a free transfer, but their fellow Championship outfit Bolton opted to take on the 34-year-old.
Ameobi, who spent 14 years at Newcastle, will wear the No.26 shirt at the Macron Stadium.
