WANDERERS have handed professional contracts to four of last season’s Under-23s title heroes.

Harry Brockbank, Joe Muscatt, Dennis Politic and Liam Edwards have all been signed to one-year deals at the Macron Stadium.

Brockbank impressed in the senior ranks last season, travelling with Wanderers on their summer tour of Scotland and scoring twice in a friendly at Chorley.

The home-grown defender, aged 19, played 26 times last term for the development squad as they took both the northern and national titles.

Twenty-year-old left-back Muscatt made 16 appearances following his arrival from Tottenham Hotspur.

Romania youth international Politic has been a prolific scorer in the Under-18s for Wanderers and made the step up in age group last season, scoring in the play-off final against Nottingham Forest.

The winger played 16 games at Under-23 level last season, netting four times, adding to his 11 goals in 15 starts for the Under-18s.

Finally, Edwards finished the season as Bolton’s Under-23s captain and made 27 appearances for the team, scoring twice.

The defender was previously at Stoke City, where he featured in the Checkatrade Trophy.
