Cahill signs new Bolton deal
Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill has signed a three-year contract to stay at the Reebok Stadium following interest from rival Premier League clubs.
Cahill has made a huge impression at Bolton since joining from Aston Villa 18 months ago and was drafted into the England squad in the summer.
The 23-year-old has been linked with the likes of Everton and Tottenham, but has now committed his long-term future to the Trotters.
He has been holding talks over a new deal for several weeks and has followed the lead of team-mate Matt Taylor by signing a contract extension.
Trotters boss Gary Megson is delighted that the centre-half will be staying at the club and outlined his importance to the team.
"We're delighted to keep Gary because I've always said I want to build the team around him," said Megson.
"He's been monitored by a lot of big clubs, so his decision to stay is one of the best signings we could have made.
"I believe he's easily the best young centre-back in the country."
