Davies signs Bolton contract extension

Bolton striker Kevin Davies has signed a new contract that will keep him at the Premier League club until 2011, according to the club's website Thursday.

Davies, 31, was handed the improved deal as reward for helping Bolton avoid relegation last season, with a series of impressive displays that earned him the club's Player of the Year award.

Davies, who has scored 41 times for Wanderers, is the third Bolton star to commit his long-term future to the club after Jussi Jaaskelainen and Ricardo Gardner signed new contracts during pre-season.
