Speaking to the Bolton’s official website, Lee said: “I’ve been training with the club for a few weeks and I’m delighted to have now signed.
“You've only got to look around the place to see that the potential to go back up is massive. This is a club that wants to be at a higher level. I'm coming here to help the team get promotion and go as high as we can.”
His new manager, Ian Evatt, added, “I am delighted to sign Kieran who I feel is a real coup for the club and a statement signing.
