Club career

Born in Stockport, [2] Bolton played in the 2018–19 EFL Trophy for Manchester City U21 against Barnsley and Rochdale, [4] and was named in Manchester City's Champions League squad. [5] He was an unused substitute for City's EFL Cup semi-final second leg against Burton Albion on 23 January 2019, and the following day joined League One club Wycombe Wanderers on loan until the end of the season. [5] He made his Football League debut on 26 January as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 home win against Plymouth Argyle. [4]

Bolton joined Luton Town on loan for the 2019–20 season. [6] [7] He was then loaned to Scottish Premiership club Dundee United for the 2020–21 season. [8] Bolton's first senior goal came during his spell in Scotland, scoring a last-minute equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Hibernian on 19 December. [9]

Bolton signed permanently for EFL League Two team Salford City in January 2022, signing a contract until June 2024. [10] He explained his reason to sign for Salford was to play men's football consistently. [11] He made his debut for the club on 8 February as an 80th minute substitute in a league match against Sutton United. [12]

On 1 February 2024, Bolton joined League Two rivals Wrexham on a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee. [13] [14]
