American midfielder Stuart Holden has earned an extension to his contract with Bolton, just eight months after joining the English Premier League club. The 25-year-old United States international was already contracted until the end of the season but is now tied to Bolton until the end of the 2012-13 campaign. Holden initially joined Bolton in January on a short-term deal. A leg injury restricted him to just three appearances last season but he has started each of Bolton's six Premier League matches this season. Holden says the injury "made me more determined to make an impact when I came back for preseason.''
