Former Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi has joined Bolton Wanderers on a short-term deal following a successful trial.
The 34-year-old Nigeria international left St. James' Park in 2014 after scoring 79 times in 397 appearances over the course of 14 years.
He had a brief spell in Turkey with Gaziantep BB last season before reuniting with former Magpies boss Alan Pardew at Crystal Palace, but was released by the Eagles in the summer.
Ameobi - who recently became a patron of the Newcastle United Foundation - has signed for the Trotters on a free transfer and will wear the number 26 jersey at the Macron Stadium.
