Lonergan seals Bolton deal

Leeds goalkeeper Andy Lonergan has completed his move to Bolton for an undisclosed fee.



Lonergan, 28, who passed his medical on Monday evening, has signed a three-year deal with Wanderers.



Bolton manager Owen Coyle made no secret of his interest in signing former Preston goalkeeper Lonergan earlier in the summer and the arrival of Paddy Kenny at Elland Road from QPR last week paved the way for his exit.



Lonergan made 38 appearances for Leeds following his move from Preston in the summer of 2011, making his debut on the opening day of last season at Southampton.

Muamba released from hospital

Bolton have confirmed that Fabrice Muamba has been discharged from the London Chest Hospital.



In an official statement on the club's website, Muamba said: "I am naturally very pleased to be discharged from hospital and would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to every single member of staff at The London Chest Hospital who have played a part in my care.



"Their dedication, professionalism and expertise is simply amazing and I will forever be in their debt. I also wish to say thank you to all the many well-wishers who have sent thousands of messages of support.



"Now I am out of hospital, I am looking forward to continuing my recovery and spending precious time with my family."



Bolton manager Owen Coyle added: "It is absolutely fantastic news that Fabrice has been discharged from hospital and everyone at the club is delighted.



"We would also like to add our thanks to the staff at The London Chest Hospital for their care and treatment of Fabrice, which has been outstanding.



"It is important that Fabrice and his family are now given time and space to be together, and we would ask the media to continue to respect their privacy."

Muamba responding to family members

Bolton have confirmed reports that Fabrice Muamba is able to "recognise family members and respond to questions".



The midfielder remains in a critical condition at The London Chest Hospital, having been admitted after suffering a cardiac arrest during the FA Cup quarter-final between Tottenham and Bolton at White Hart Lane.



It was confirmed on Monday afternoon that he was moving his arms and legs and that his heart was beating without the aid of medication. Later in the day a friend of Muamba's, Curtis Codrington, revealed the 23-year-old was talking.
