Bolton Wanderers have confirmed they are highly interested in signing Middlesbrough Rhys Williams this summer with Owen Coyle heaping praise on the youngster.
The Australian international has only just returned to first-team action following a hip injury that has kept him out for 12 months and having spent time under the guidance of Coyle before during a loan spell at Burnley, it looks like the two could reunite at the Reebok Stadium.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Coyle said: “Rhys Williams is a player I had on loan at Burnley when he was a young kid from Middlesbrough. He did terrific for me and he’s one of 15 or 20 players that we’ve looked at.
“I spoke to Boro chief executive Keith Lamb on Wednesday because we have a fantastic relationship with Middlesbrough, and I spoke to Keith to say that’s exactly where we are.
“If and when there was anything concrete on that then Middlesbrough would be the first to know.”
The Aussie can play in either defence or midfield and is still relatively young at the age of 22.
