Bolton skipper Jay-Jay Okocha hopes to put his recent injury problems behind him and kick start what has proved to be a frustrating season for him personally.

Okocha made a successful return to action during the goalless draw with Middlesbrough at the weekend and now hopes to remain injury free for the remainder of the season.

"I've missed playing and I'm happy to be back. This has been a tough season for me because of my problems. I have found it very difficult to get my rhythm but I hope this has been my last injury and that I can return to my best." he told the official site.

"I came back too soon when I had injuries earlier in the season but I made sure I was 100 per cent okay this time. It would have been a mistake to play any earlier than this and I feel great now."
