BOLTON Wanderers are closing in on the emergency loan signing of Nottingham Forest utility man Greg Halford.
Boss Dougie Freedman is desperately trying to boost his squad ahead of Sheffield Wednesday's weekend visit to Macron Stadium and has pinpointed the 29-year-old as the man to fill the void left by Kevin McNaughton, who is a major doubt to face the Owls because of a hamstring injury.
Halford can play in any position down the right-hand side of the pitch, as well as in an attacking role. He has made 82 appearances since joining Forest from Portsmouth in July 2012, but has yet to feature for the Reds this season under the new management of Stuart Pearce.
