"He played against us the other day and looked good so it will be interesting to see if he can fulfill his full potential with a League One side.
"He is physically strong and a good finisher. He will complement all that we have got at the moment and that can only help the squad.
"We want to thank Bolton for lending us the player and we are coming up to a period of games where we need all the bodies we can get."
