Oldham have signed their third new player of the week after agreeing a season-long loan deal with Bolton for defender Lewis Temple.
The Republic of Ireland Under-19 centre-back, 21, has been with the Trotters since January when he joined from League of Ireland side Shelbourne.
He made 15 appearances for Shelbourne last season, including three in the Europa League.
"The loan is something that we've been speaking about for the last few weeks and I'm delighted," Temple told the club website., external
Latics boss Micky Mellon added Temple had been on their radar for a while and highlighted his comfort on the ball and his experience in Ireland as positives he could bring to the squad.
Temple follows midfielders Tom Hill and Kai Payne into Boundary Park this week in preparing for the new season, which starts on Saturday with their Carabao Cup first round tie at Championship side Stoke City.

A former Wales Under-21 international who came through Liverpool's academy, Hill scored for Oldham during their 4-0 pre-season friendly win over Sheffield Wednesday last weekend.
"Everything has been promising during pre-season and scoring last week was a special moment - hopefully it's the first of many good memories here," Hill told the club website., external
"I'm excited for the season ahead and can't wait to pull on the shirt competitively."
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Payne returns having made 35 appearances for Oldham last season as well as five appearances during his previous loan stint in 2024-25.
Boss Micky Mellon said of Payne: "Kai has been excellent for us in every spell here and we're delighted to have him back.
"He's a player who understands what we're about, knows the standards we expect and fits perfectly into the way we want to play."
