Bolton have terminated the contract of Super Eagles defender Danny Shittu.



The 30-year-old signed a three-year deal with the Trotters when he moved to the Reebok Stadium from Watford for a reported £2m fee in August 2008.



The big defender made 12 appearances in his first season at Bolton but he fell down the pecking order and did not feature for the first team last season.



However, the centre-back was still named in Nigeria‘s 2010 World Cup squad and played in all three of their Group B games in South Africa.



Shittu, who is also part of Nigeria‘s squad for the African Nations Cup qualifier against Madagascar in Calabar, began his career as a trainee at Charlton, moved in 2002 to Queens Park Rangers after he impressed during a loan spell.



He played more than 160 games for the QPR before moving to Watford for £1.6m in the summer of 2006.

Why cancel this fine young mans contract, anywayz I read celtic is interested in him, goodluck!

Shittu ohhhhhhhh Shittu

Perhaps there are other reasons he was relegated to the  bench, we have seen him in eagles shirt a couple of times. His game actually has some weaknesses just like any other player, but he certainly deserves a place in Bolton's squad , if selection is based on sports only.

9ja den just dey throw way dem any how

Am not surprised, the guy is not good enough.

who is Shittu, is it that big one that cant even carry his body. he should play in Watford jor

Do you know his real age? I dont mean futbol age.

Nice move by bolton

shittu, please reduce you fat and every other problem will be sorted.

@ournaija, lmao these days we try to forgive them, juz pretend e no get age
if he's 30 then I'm 12

Shittu will definitely make a good rugby player.
na by force to play soccer?

he should take up wrestling

Shittu AKA VOLTRON (without the Blazing Sword and Two turtles for feet rather than Lions)

You have done us proud, at least your Big Chest and Prancing blocks is something for highlight reels. It is hightime and ripe moment to go into WWE wrestling where your true potential will be realised  

Soccer is not for you

BOXING or UFC won't be a bad idea

Bolten should come and ask Westerhof,what to do wit such a defender with such gaint body,and 150% zeal,anyway the spirit is willing but the BODY IS HEAVY

KAI! I GIVE UP, NIGERIANS BE TOO FUNNY LOL THE COMMENTS ALONE
CHARLLEY! I LUV U ALL

These Bolton guys are wicked, why offload him now that the transfer window has closed? It just a ploy to mess up the guys carrier. If this was done in good time, maybe some clubs i Northern Europe would have indicated interest as happen in the case of Yobo. But dammed, the guy is so unlucky.

^^^^
if you are out of contract, you can move irrespective of a closed window.

I honestly think Bolton did him a favour.
Now he can move to any club even outside the transfer window.
They could have sent him on loan to Kano Pillars though

I believe Danny Shittu moved to England long before he decided to play football professionally so I doubt his passport age will be different from his real age. But maybe he may have reduced his age by at most, about 2 years in that usual wuruwuru way most Nigerians do on their passports and other documents. Why Nigerians do that, I dont Know. I was a year older than most people in my class but only God knows how many of them were really older than me.

Do you think Bolton could have terminated Shittu's contract just like that? Lailai! If he didnt commit any gross misconduct they would have had to honour the contract and pay his wages for the remaining year on his contract. They reached an agreement where I am sure they paid something like half of his wages upfront and then made him a free agent which means he is free to sign for another club tomorrow and start earning again. Bolton save themselves some money and Shittu can hopefully find another club were he can enjoy playing football again.

Everyones happy and Its all sweet!

Thank you - As you are the only person that makes sense on this thread . Nigerians and their pull him down syndrome. Shittu is laughing his way to the bank - Imagine all the upfront money with the possibility of signing another contract while majority on this thread remain broke and busted.
