The 26-year old only joined the Trotters from Leeds United in the summer but failed to make a senior appearance during his time at the Reebok Stadium culminating in both club and player mutually agreeing a return to the Black Cats for whom he had a successful for year spell with back in the late 1990's.
Bridges is now in line to make his return debut for Sunderland in a live televised game tommorow evening which is ironically against Leeds.
BoltonMAD would like to wish Michael all the best on his return to the Stadium of Light.
