Bolton midfielder Lee Chung-Yong has agreed a contract extension with the Reebok Stadium outfit.
The South Korea international, 22, has been in fine form for Wanderers so far this season, playing a major role in the club’s climb to fifth place in the Premier League.
And Bolton boss Owen Coyle was delighted to tie one of his prized assets to the club until 2013.
He said: “We have signed Lee on a contract extension. It’s great news for the club that such a talented player will be here for a long time.”
Lee has joined the likes of Fabrice Muamba and Stuart Holden in committing himself to the Trotters.
And Coyle added: “These extensions show we are looking to build a club. I am very forward thinking in trying to improve and help these young players on our journey.
“With the talent he has Lee is getting better day by day and I am thrilled he has signed up.
“What I am wary of is we do not burn him out as he has played two years without a break. He managed to have three weeks off after the World Cup that’s all.”
