Loan star
The 27-year-old arrived at the English Premiership club in the summer in a temporary switch from the French Ligue 1 side, having spent the previous season on loan at FC Istres. However, he has now signed a contract until 2008 with Bolton.
Career resurrection
Faye said: "[Manager] Sam Allardyce and Bolton have given me the opportunity to resurrect my career. To earn a permanent contract is a dream come true." Allardyce added of a player who made 35 appearances for Lens: "He is arguably our most consistent player of the season and loves the physicality of the Premiership."
