Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen and defender Ricardo Gardner have both signed new long-term deals.

The duo were both out of contract, but Jaaskelainen has penned a new four-year deal, while Gardner, 29, has committed himself for a further three years.

Jaaskelainen, 33, had been linked with a move away from Bolton as they fought relegation last season.

But they maintained their Premier League status and he will stay on at a club he joined in November 1997.
