Former Liverpool coach Sammy Lee has returned to Bolton Wanderers to take up the position of Head of Academy coaching.

Lee, who left Anfield in the summer, will work alongside Wanderers Academy Director Jimmy Phillips in developing the club's latest generation of young starlets.

Bolton manager Owen Coyle said: "I am really delighted to have Sammy back as part of the team at Bolton Wanderers.

"I know Sammy will bring a great deal of top level coaching experience and a great deal of enthusiasm, and that can only be of huge benefit for our youth players."
