Marvin Sordell has taken to Twitter this lunchtime to issue a lengthy thank you after completing his move to Bolton Wanderers.

The former Watford striker has used the social networking site to praise the club, manager Sean Dyche and the fans following his deadline day switch to the Premier League outfit for a fee that we understand could rise to more than £3.5m.

The England Under-21 forward had looked set to link up again with former Hornets boss Malky Mackay at Cardiff City before Bolton tabled an increased offer.

Sordell Tweeted: “Thank you everybody for the kind messages. Sad to be leaving Watford but it’s a new chapter in my career that I’m delighted to be starting.

“I loved every minute at the club and will never have a bad word to say about anybody there.

“I’d like to thank everybody at the club and in particular the manager, Sean Dyche, for guiding and helping me to improve as a player and a person.

“I wish the club all the best for the future.

“I’m very excited to have the opportunity to play for Bolton in the Premiership and I can’t wait to get started now.

“And I’d also like to thank the fans for all the support I’ve had over the years. You’ve been great to me and I loved scoring goals for you.”
