Dion Charles is 'huge' to the new look Bolton Wanderers team as Ian Evatt believes it is exciting that there is still more to come from a young squad.
Charles was the first arrival in the January transfer window at Wanderers and has made a huge impact, scoring three goals already for his new club.
He was followed by the likes of Aaron Morley and James Trafford, who have also both slotted straight into the Bolton team and had a huge impact themselves in the midfield and goalkeeping departments.

Evatt believes Charles is key to this Wanderers team with the hunger and work ethic he shows with and without the ball, as well as having the pace to cause defenders serious problems.
And with the relatively youthful look to this new Bolton team, Evatt believes there is more growth to come in an exciting thought for the future.
Evatt said: "He’s (Charles) huge to this team. He offers us something completely different, something that we haven’t had. He’s hungry, he wants to improve, his work ethic is second to none, but he has speed and speed to get away from defenders and speed to cause them problems when they’ve got the ball as well.
"What we have done this January is bring in energy and speed into the team and speed kills, speed hurts defenders.
"No-one likes to play against speed, me more than anyone when I was a player, so if we can add that to our game and you see some of the lightning quick counter attacks we put together, some of our rotations and running in behind and when you can stretch teams behind like we are doing at the moment, it makes it easier for us to build.
“It’s just sharpness and that’s the same said
