Bolton Wanderers have announced that they have completed the signing of Alex Baptiste on a free transfer.

The 27-year-old has moved to the Reebok stadium following a five-year spell at Blackpool, who decided against renewing the defender's contract.

The defender began his career at Mansfield Town.
