Neil Lennon praises veteran striker Emile Heskey

Bolton Wanderers manager Neil Lennon has heaped praise on veteran striker Emile Heskey following his performance in Saturday's 1-1 Championship draw against Wigan Athletic.

Heskey signed on a short-term deal in December which was extended to the end of the season last week.

"Heskey is showing everyone how to play centre-forward and he's 37. That is why he has been at the top for so long," Lennon told BBC Sport.

"Our play, apart from Heskey, going forward was not great. We looked very light."

Heskey made 62 appearances for England, scoring seven goals.
