I dag kunngjorde Bolton at Chris Forino (24) går fra Wycombe til Bolton Wanderers.

Chris Forino starter Boltoneventyret 1. juli etter at han signerte en tre-års kontrakt med klubben,

Han kom til Wycombe Wanderers i april 2021 og fikk med seg 90 kamper. Han var en fanfavoritt i sin posisjon i forsvaret.

Med en rekke klubber som ønsker å sikre signaturen til den ruvende forsvareren, forteller Forino til bwfc.co.uk om sin lykke over å takke ja til å bli Bolton-spiller og hvorfor dette er det perfekte stedet for han nå.

– It’s a massive club and a massive opportunity for myself. My earliest memories of this football club was watching them on Match of the Day in the Premier League, so I know it’s a club with ambition and this feels like the right fit for me.

Han sier videre til klubbens nettsted:

– For me it (what attracted him to Wanderers) was the Gaffer at first. It was one of the shorter phone calls that I had over the summer and sometimes, you just know. It was a very swift and short call and I came off thinking ‘this makes sense’. It’s a great club and it will allow me to grow as a player and person. As I said, it’s a club with ambition and I hope to play a big part in it.

Chris Forino er også klar til å gå i krigen for sitt nye lag.

– I absolutely love defending and I think it’s an art to do that, so I’m no-nonsense in that sense. I want to get the fans onside with me early doors. I want to make big tackles, celebrate with them and feel really connected with them – that’s really important to me.
