Bolton Wanderers sign Jon Flanagan on loan from Liverpool

Bolton Wanderers have completed the signing of Liverpool defender Jon Flanagan on loan until the end of the season.

The 25-year-old has made just one EFL Cup appearance for the Reds this season, having failed to work his way into Jurgen Klopp's first-team plans despite a long-term injury for Nathaniel Clyne.

Flanagan first broke into the Liverpool senior side on a regular basis during their second-place finish in the 2013-14 campaign, but a mixture of fitness and form has seen him fall down the pecking order at Anfield since.

The one-time England international will now spend the remainder of the season with Championship strugglers Bolton Wanderers, who currently sit 22nd in the table.

Flanagan could make his debut for the Trotters at home to Bristol City on Friday night.
