Luke Philip Bolton (born 7 October 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger and full-back for EFL League One club Wrexham.

Bolton began his career with Manchester City, and spent time on loan at Wycombe Wanderers, where he made his professional debut, Luton Town, and Scottish club Dundee United. He moved to Salford City in January 2022.

Club career

[edit]

Manchester City

[edit]

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]

Salford City

[edit]

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]

Wrexham

[edit]

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

International career

[edit]

He has represented England at under-20 level, and was a member of the squad that won the 2017 Toulon Tournament.[5]

Playing style

[edit]

During his time with Luton he played primarily as a full back rather than his usual position as a winger.[15]
