Town, Middlesbrough and Crystal Palace are all reported to be interested in Bolton Wanderers defender Mark Connolly, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

The 20-year-old, whose only senior game so far came in March 2010 during a loan spell in the SPL with St Johnstone, joined the Trotters for £1 million from Wolves in the summer of 2009.

A Republic of Ireland U21 international, Monaghan-born Connolly plays anywhere in the back four and in central midfield and is currently the reserve team skipper at the Reebok Stadium.

tractorboy2434 added 11:36 - Dec 22 At his age he is likely to have better options than us, in any case just why would Jewell be interested in a 20 year old, come back in another 10 seasons.

tractored added 12:35 - Dec 22 Bolton are rubbish and he is no where near good enough for them, so he isn't up to the standard we require. Pass on this one.
