Former Bolton and USA midfielder Stuart Holden has announced his retirement from football following a long battle with injury.

Holden played for Wanderers between 2010 and 2014, netting two goals in 38 appearances for the club.

The 30-year-old wrote on Twitter: "THANK YOU for all the memories, it's been one hell of a ride. Cheers to the next chapter."

Holden, who struggled with a series of knee injuries during his time at the Macron Stadium, told Bolton's official website: "From day one I was welcomed to the club with open arms and I have felt part of the Bolton Wanderers family ever since.

"I will always be a Bolton Wanderers supporter and the club will forever hold a special place in my heart. I'm already looking forward to the next opportunity at which I'm able to come back and say hello to everyone.
