07/04/2008 - Bolton, England (Soccer Betting) - Bolton has signed veteran goalkeeper Ian Walker to a new one-year contract.
The 37-year-old former England keeper has been with the Trotters for the past three seasons and has made eight appearances in cup competitions.
He will once again provide back up for first choice Jussi Jaaskelainen and back up Ali Al-Habsi at the Reebok Stadium next season.
Meanwhile, Jaaskelainen is expected put pen to paper on his own new deal in the coming days.
The Finland international had been expected to end his 11-year stay with the club at the end of the last campaign, but has decided to stay on after agreeing terms on a new deal.
Jaaskelainen has agreed a four-year contract in principle and has set his sights on reclaiming the number one jersey which he lost to Al-Habsi after missing the closing months of the last campaign through injury.
"There's always competition when you play in the top league if you don't perform there's going to be lots of other keepers coming in," he said.
"Of course, Ali played very well at the end of last season and will be more impressive, but I think that will bring the best out of everyone."

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
