Silva, capable of featuring as both a winger and a second striker, has enjoyed loan spells at Levante, Alcoyano, Ponferradina, Real Murcia, and Almeria over the last five years.

At Bolton, he'll wear No. 22 as part of manager Neil Lennon's first-team squad for the club's fixture versus Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
