Jay-Jay Okocha and Bruno N`Gotty are leaving their contracts at the English club. This was officially announced by Bolton team's coach Sam Allardyce.
Former captain of the Nigerian national team Okocha and defender from France N`Gotty played their last match for Bolton over the weekend, when their team defeated "Birmingham" 1-0.
"Jay-Jay and Bruno will not be representing our team next season," Allardyce said after the victory against "Birmingham". "We intend to reduce the average age of our team next season, but it was very difficult to make the decision not to extend contracts with such experienced football players."
32-year-old Okocha joined the team back in 2002, after his contract with the French club "P.S.G" expired. Prior to that, the veteran played for Frankfurt's "Eintracht" and "Fenerbahce".
Meanwhile, 34-year-old N`Gotty arrived at the club just last year, when he was loaned from the same "P.S.G", with whom he helped win the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996. Before that, the player represented his native country's "Monaco" and "Marseille" teams.
The experienced players helped the Bolton team reach the FA Cup final in 2004, and in 2005 they achieved a high 6th position in the English Premier League, entering the UEFA Cup tournament for the first time in the club's history.
In this year's English championship, "Bolton" won 15 out of 38 matches and accumulated 56 points, securing the 8th place.
