Bolton Wanderers fans have reacted to striker and vice-captain Eoin Doyle's departure from the club this evening.
It has been announced that the 33-year-old has left the League One side to move back to his native Republic of Ireland and join hometown club St Patrick's Athletic.
Doyle leaves Wanderers with 27 goals in 72 appearances in all competitions, with his last game for the team being the 1-0 loss to Hartlepool United earlier this month in the Papa John's Trophy.

And Bolton supporters are united in their praise of the Irishman, acknowledging his contributions in a Bolton shirt and particularly the goals he scored last season which ensured Wanderers won promotion to League One.
