Ricketts on target for Trotters

admin

Ricketts joined Bolton from Hull at the weekend and needed just 28 minutes on Tuesday night to open his account in a Wanderers shirt, the defender heading home from fellow new boy Sean Davis’ inch-perfect cross.

Megson, who also handed a debut to former Aston Villa defender Zat Knight, saw his side go further ahead after 57 minutes when captain Kevin Davies tapped home from close range after good work by Matt Taylor.

Den Bosch pulled a goal back with a deflected effort off Gavin McCann 10 minutes from time, which looped over substitute goalkeeper Adam Bogdan.

Bolton’s pre-season tour of Germany and Holland concludes at FC Eindhoven on Friday.
