FORMER LIVERPOOL STRIKER Emile Heskey is back playing in England after completing a short-term deal with Championship club Bolton, the club’s official Twitter account today confirmed.
Heskey, who scored 39 goals in 150 appearances for Liverpool and earned 62 England caps in his prime, has been without a club since leaving Australian side Newcastle Jets in August.
It was reported back in December that he was training with the club in a bid to secure a deal, and his attempts now appear to have proved successful.
The veteran attacker, who turns 37 in January, has played for a host of clubs over the course of his career, including Leicester, Aston Villa and Wigan.
Cullen is so so so good, should be premier league. 3 million was an absolute joke of a price
@Sam Murray: yeah, a bit of insider trading by Kompany!
Watch out for dara costelloe….very impressive debut for a 19 year old….both feet ….missed one or two chances but on another day he could have scored a hat trick….gets into great positions….hope stephen kenny was watching ….I will watch his progress with interest….I agree too josh Cullen was a bargain at 3 million….Great game too
Young Costello has come a long way in a short time and he had a very impressive debut . Yes he missed one or two chances through being a tat anxious to score , but this will come with more game time . Best wishes to him going forward , and well done to kompany to give him a debut , but he sees this lad everyday and has that confidence in him .
@Tricksy: I’ve rarely seen a young kid who is completely comfortable on both feet….this gives him a huge advantage and yes…..well done to kompany for putting faith into a very young team….Burnley were amazing last night
@Seamus Kelly: This lad came through the local schoolboy grade in Limerick and went to England after his eighteenth birthday because of Brexit if I’m not mistaken ? But it’s probably not a bad thing being more mature going to a club either . Maybe previously , clubs were in a hurry to sign a lad with potential at a very young age for fear of missing out to another club .
