Jutkiewicz on loan from Middlesbrough...

Bolton have signed striker Lukas Jutkiewicz on loan from Championship rivals Middlesbrough for the remainder of the season.

Wanderers boss Dougie Freedman has beaten off competition from a number of clubs to land the 24-year-old former Everton youngster.

Jutkiewicz has struggled for form this season, scoring just twice in 24 appearances, and has failed to nail down a regular place in the Boro starting XI.

Freedman told his club's official website: "Lukas is someone I have admired for a while. I've known of him for a long time, going back to his Everton days.
