Allardyce distances West Ham from move for former Bolton star
West Ham have distanced themselves from a move for free agent Ricardo Gardner - but say he would be a decent acquisition for any other club.
The 34-year-old was released by Bolton in May 2012 and has since been searching for a new side.
Sam Allardyce, who managed Gardner during his days at Bolton, has invited the left-sided Jamaican for training at West Ham.
This led to speculation that Gardner could join up with Allardyce again but the club's assistant Neil McDonald says no move is on the cards.
He said: "Ricardo's just been in for a few weeks trying to get his fitness up and we've helped him out with a few games.
"We've got no spaces in the 25-man squad so there's nothing doing with us. But we had a great relationship with him at Bolton and he asked to come in and get fit and that's what he's done.
"He's ready and raring to go if anyone needs a left-back or a left midfielder.
"I'm not sure if there is Interest from other clubs but he's fit now and ready to get fixed up with a new club."
