Bolton manager Gary Megson has completed the signing of defender Danny Shittu from Watford for a fee believed to be in the region of £2million.The Nigeria international has secured a move to the Reebok Stadium following the collapse of his switch to Rangers.
Watford accepted an offer from the Old Firm giants last month, but Shittu was unable to settle on personal terms with the Gers.
Shittu has managed to agree a three-year contract with Bolton and is contracted to Wanderers until 2011.
The centre-half becomes Megson's fourth signing of the summer, following on from Johan Elmander, Riga Mustapha and Fabrice Muamba
He will now travel to Greece to meet up with his new team-mates and will add competition to Megson's defence, with doubts surrounding the future of Abdoulaye Meite.
Shittu made 75 appearances for Watford since moving to Vicarage Road two years ago from Queens Park Rangers.

Go there, prepare urself and sell urself, that's all I have to tell Shittu. It's a big occassion 4 him and he should, therefore, seize it for greatness.A lifeline has been thrown to u, grab it.

WHAT'S IN A NAME? THE HOME AND AWAY FANS ARE GOING TO HAVE A FIELD DAY IF RIGA MUSTAPHA AND DANNY SHITTU PLAY IN THE SAME TEAM
HEAVEN HELP US IF A PASS IS MADE BETWEEN THE TWO!!!!
THINK ABOUT IT
GREAT SIGNINGS COME ON YOU WHITES
shame about the name
the terraces will have some fun!
what a nice move for the big nigerian. i think he has made a fantastic decision to team up with bolton. this is because they are in the premier league where he has already played for a season. Though, he is a very good defender, but this step will be a nice steping stone for him but i am sure he can't spend 3 seasons with bolton before big clubs like chelsea, man u, ...will come knocking for his signature.
Goodluck shittu...Goodluck Bolton
