Turkish international Sanli Tuncay has returned to England by signing for Bolton Wanderers on a season long loan. The former Stoke forward, who moves from German outfit VFL Wolfsburg, has passed a medical and signed a contract and now requires his work permit to be authorised by the Home Office to rubberstamp his transfer. Tuncay made the announcement on social networking site Twitter.
Sakarya born Tuncay played for Sakaryaspor and Fenerbahce in his home country before joining Middlesbrough in 2007. Two years later, he joined Stoke in August 2009, but found success hard to come by with the Potters. Wolfsburg offered him an escape route in January earlier this year which he accepted.
According to reports, Bolton can make his loan move permanent by paying £3m to Wolfsburg at the end of the season.

League One Carlisle United have officially announced the signing of young defender James Tavernier on loan from Newcastle United. The versatile youngster, who can play as both full back and centre half, will be with the Cumbrians for an initial one month period.
Tavernier, a product of the Leeds youth system, joined Newcastle in 2008. He had a one month loan stint at Gateshead in January this year that was extended by another two months. The 19 year old’s only Magpies appearance so far has come in a League Cup tie against Accrington Stanley.
Carlisle boss Greg Abbott moved quickly to sign Tavernier, following an injury to Franklin Simek, who is expected to be out for an indefinite duration following hip damage in their opening game of the season against Notts County.

Nottingham Forest manager Steve McClaren has made his fourth signing of the summer transfer window by landing Matt Derbyshire from Greek outfit Olympiakos. The 25 year old has been signed for an undisclosed fee and has put pen to paper a three year deal at the City Ground.
Derbyshire thus becomes McClaren’s fourth signing of the summer after Andy Reid, Jonathan Greening and George Boateng. He spent last season on loan at Birmingham City and left the Blues for Greece when they were relegated from the Premier League.
Derby County were also interested in Derbyshire but Forest have stolen a march over their rivals after securing his signature.
At Olympiakos, Derbyshire was best remembered for his brace in the club’s Greek Cup final win over arch rivals Panathinaikos.
