Bolton Wanderers have announced that midfielder Ruben Rodrigues has signed a new one-year extension to his current deal, taking him up to the summer of 2028. The Portuguese player has been a big success since arriving in the North West at the end of the winter transfer window following a short spell in Brazil.
Rodrigues scored four goals in 15 appearances during the second half of last season, two of which came in the play-off final against Stockport County. He had also been in fine scoring form through Bolton’s pre-season friendly schedule but picked up a knee injury in the Carabao Cup against Sheffield Wednesday and will be out of action for another five weeks.
Why it matters for Bolton Wanderers
The extension is a significant boost for the club, who have been working hard to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. With Rodrigues tied down for another year, Bolton Wanderers will be looking to build on their recent form and push for a top-six finish in League One.
What comes next?
Rodrigues will be looking to make a quick recovery from his injury and get back on the pitch as soon as possible. With the new season just around the corner, he will be eager to make a strong impression and help his team achieve their goals.
What does this mean for the team?
The extension of Rodrigues' contract is a significant coup for Bolton Wanderers, who have been working hard to strengthen their squad. With the Portuguese midfielder tied down for another year, the team will be looking to build on their recent form and push for a top-six finish in League One.
