Barry Bannan has signed for Bolton on-loan until the end of the season.

Bannan has gone on-loan to seek much needed game time, and confirmed his move on Twitter earlier this evening:

"Happy to say I've signed for Bolton and can't wait to get going. Big thank you to the palace fans for there support much appreciated"

The Scottish International told Holmesdale Radio: "I'm gutted I'm having to leave [Palace] - but I love football and need to be playing."

"The deal has been on the cards for a while now (a week or two) - after coming off at half time against Spurs and not featuring in the squad against Burnley, it wasn't looking good."

"The Palace fans have been brilliant to me - I hope I can go out for the rest of the season and show people what I've got, and hopefully come back next season and play a big part."
