BOLTON have signed Jan Kirchhoff on a deal until the end of the season.
The German has been without a club since his release from relegated Sunderland last year.
The 27-year-old made 23 appearances for the Black Cats following his move from Bayern Munich two years ago.
Kirchhoff, who can play at centre-back or in central midfield has been on trial with the Championship strugglers and is happy to get his career going again.
The former German Under-21 star told the club website: “I’m really pleased to be here and happy to be back in football.
“I’m looking forward to the rest of the season and to play for this great team.”
