Bolton Wanderers
‘Shame’, ‘Something to regret in the future’ – These Bolton Wanderers fans react as player departure confirmed
Bolton Wanderers have made multiple additions to their squad already this month but Ian Evatt has also let some players go.
Despite Dion Charles, Marlon Fossey, James Trafford, Aaron Morley and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson all arriving to strengthen the Trotters squad, both Harry Brockbank and experienced striker Eoin Doyle have already departed the University of Bolton Stadium.
And that duo have now been joined through the exit door by attacking midfielder Dennis Politic, who there was once high hopes for at the club.
Quiz: Have each of these 25 ex-Bolton Wanderers players ever played in the Premier League?
Politic has ended an association of over six years with Bolton to joined Italian side Cremonese on a permanent deal for around £50,000 – they ply their trade in the country’s second tier.
The 21-year-old joined Bolton in 2015 after being on the books of Manchester United, signing professional terms three years later.
He spent time on loan at Salford City during the 2018-19 season in the National League and then featured regularly for Bolton in the 2019-20 campaign, featuring 24 times in the League One campaign that was curtailed early due to COVID-19.
Having missed the whole 2020-21 season due to a ruptured ACL, Politic was sent out on loan to League Two outfit Port Vale this summer, playing 16 times and scoring five goals and notching four assists before being recalled a few days ago by the Trotters because of a permanent exit being in the offing.
Bolton fans have been reacting to this deal on social media – check out what they’ve been saying.
All the best @dennis_politic https://t.co/jb9mrorglA

Best wishes Dennis. Gutted being a regular in a Bolton shirt didn’t materialise through bad luck and bad timing. Good luck in Italy

It’s a pity he turned down our contract but a trip to Italy or staying in Bolton. No brainer! Good luck!
