"The methods put into practice here are at a technologically-advanced stage and that is something that interests me," Fortune told the club's website.

"I have been impressed with the planning and preparation I encountered during the summer.

"There was interest from other teams but once I gained a full picture of the Bolton way there was no other club I wanted to sign for.

"For me, that was the most important thing and it was a very easy decision.

"My aim was to get fit throughout the close season to give myself the chance of securing a contract with a top side and I'm delighted it has worked out at Bolton."
