Dougie Freedman guarantees West Bromwich Albion that Craig Dawson will improve during his loan spell at Bolton Wanderers.

Bolton Wanderers manager Dougie Freedman has assured West Bromwich Albion that Craig Dawson will return to them a better player.

The England Under-21 defender is currently on loan at Bolton until the end of April.

Freedman accepts that Dawson's long-term future is at West Brom, but has assured them that his spell at Bolton will be beneficial.

"When I go into agreements, I don't go in with the intention of pulling the wool over anyone's eyes," Freedman told the Birmingham Mail.

"There were five or six clubs who wanted to take Craig on loan and I told Steve Clarke that if he sent him to us, I would develop him as a young man and a player, in that order.

"He's maturing, he is getting game time and I will hand him back to West Brom better for the experience, I guarantee. We're on track to do that. What happens in the future, we'll have to wait and see."

Bolton are currently five points outside the playoff positions in the Championship.
