Bolton Wanderers have moved to secure the loan signing of Cardiff City striker Joe Mason.

Mason has previously spent a period on loan at the Reebok Stadium this season, scoring one goal in eight games before being recalled by the Welsh side at the turn of the year.

However, after making just two appearances since his return to the Bluebirds, he has been allowed to return to the Championship club for the next eight weeks.

The 22-year-old is likely to feature in Bolton's squad for their game with Watford on Saturday.
