Davies rejects switch to Toronto as Bolton line up £350k swoop for Aussie Sainsbury



Bolton striker Kevin Davies has turned down the chance to join Toronto FC when his contract at the Reebok Stadium ends in the summer.



Davies, who has also attracted attention from Sheffield Wednesday, said: 'It has been a complete rollercoaster since first speaking with Ryan Nelsen at Toronto on April 18. As it stands today I will not be leaving for Toronto.



'My young family and I were naturally very excited about the opportunity of going to Toronto on a short-term deal but after legal advice we felt that certain obstacles put in our way were too large to overcome.'

Long serving: But Kevin Davies is to leave Bolton at the end of the season

Bolton are set to sign Australian defender Trent Sainsbury after agreeing a £350,000 fee with his club Central Coast Mariners. Wanderers are trying to beat Southampton who want the 21-year-old to undergo a trial first.
