\"Ricardo Gardner has played over 300 times for Bolton<\/span> <\/p>\n

Bolton midfielder Ricardo Gardner has rejected a move to West Ham in favour of staying at the Reebok Stadium.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old turned down the chance to work with former boss Sam Allardyce, and is considering a short-term deal offered to him by Wanderers.<\/p>\n

“It was very tempting for Ricardo to go and play for Sam,” Gardner’s agent Phil Graham told The Bolton News.<\/p>\n

“But he didn’t want to relocate. He loves the club and the town, and wants to see his career out at Bolton.”<\/p>\n

The Jamaican has been with Bolton since 1998, but appeared on the Premier League’s list of released players<\/a> published on Thursday as his contract with the Trotters had expired.<\/p>\n

Gardner would have become West Ham’s second signing in the space of 24 hours after their capture of former Newcastle captain Kevin Nolan<\/a> on a five-year deal on Thursday.<\/p>\n

West Ham’s two summer signings thus far, Nolan and Senegal centre-back Abdoulaye Faye, were both former team-mates of Gardner at Bolton.<\/p>\n

Sam Allardyce managed all three players during his seven year spell as manager of the Trotters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
