Bolton Complete Speed Transfer
By Martin Williams July 21 2004
Bolton Wanderers have completed the signing of Wales captain Gary Speed for £750,000. The 34-year-old agreed terms on a two-year-deal at the Reebok Stadium yesterday and completed his medical today.
Speed turned down the chance to work for his ex-international team-mate Chris Coleman at Fulham and an offer from Middlesbrough to join Bolton.

"I am delighted to sign a player of Gary's quality," said Bolton boss Sam Allardyce. "He's a very experienced Premiership player."

"Gary was eager to join us and turned down offers from other clubs to become a Bolton player.

"He has great enthusiasm for the game and will add a bit of steel to our midfield."
