Ex-Bolton Wanderers, Leeds United & Sunderland midfielder on trial at Championship club

Former Bolton Wanderers midfielder Liam Bridcutt is currently on trial at Championship side Blackpool.

Bridcutt spent the first few months of the 2019/20 season on loan at Wanderers from Nottingham Forest. He played a dozen times under Keith Hill, before his loan spell ended prematurely.

From there, Bridcutt headed on loan to Lincoln City. It was a move that was made permanent following the expiration of his contract at the City Ground.

He departed the Imps this summer and is currently a free agent. That could change soon though.

Bridcutt - who has also played for Leeds United and Sunderland in his career after starting out at Chelsea - is currently at the Seasiders. He played under new Blackpool boss Appleton, who confirmed the player is on trial at the Seasiders.

He told Lancs Live : "Liam is someone I know really well, loads of experience throughout the leagues, really good character a great leader on and off the pitch. He had his injury issues last year as I'm aware obviously having him at Lincoln but he's been in with us now for a week or so and looked okay.

"He's a fantastic character off the pitch as well as on the pitch and I think the players have enjoyed having him around. That's something that in the coming weeks there's maybe a potential to do a deal but that's not saying it's guaranteed it's going to happen.

"I think Liam himself knows that he has to prove that he's able and capable in terms of fitness and I think if that is the case then he'll give himself a great opportunity."
