David Wheater

David Wheater is a central defender who signed for Bolton Wanderers in the January 2011 transfer window. A commanding figure who provides authority at the back, David was called into action early on to replace the injured Zat Knight and enjoyed a run of games partnering Gary Cahill in the heart of the defence. David is a graduate of the Middlesbrough youth set-up and was part of the 2004 FA Youth Cup winning team. He established himself in the side at the beginning of the 2007-08 season and never looked back, taking over as captain and becoming a permanent feature at the back. David represented England at all age group levels up to the U21s.
