Bolton Wanderers saw 11 players exit the club during the 2025/26 season.

What happened to the departed players?

The Whites generated around £3million from player sales as they rebuilt their squad. Aaron Collins, a record signing for MK Dons at £800,000, scored six goals in 29 appearances but struggled with injuries.

How did the other players perform?

Luke Southwood, who failed to gain Steven Schumacher's backing, made a decent start at Bristol Rovers but was later transfer listed. George Thomason, who moved to Wrexham for £1.2million, established himself as a first-team option and finished the season with 36 appearances and two goals.

What's next for the departed players?

Klaidi Lolos, deemed surplus to requirements, found himself shelved at Peterborough United and is now on the transfer list with two years left on his contract. Dan Nlundulu, told he would not feature in Bolton's plans, took until September to find a new club. | Player | New Club | Appearances | Goals | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Aaron Collins | MK Dons | 29 | 6 | | Luke Southwood | Bristol Rovers | 10 | 0 | | George Thomason | Wrexham | 36 | 2 | | Klaidi Lolos | Peterborough United | 11 | 1 | | Dan Nlundulu | | | |

How will these moves impact Bolton Wanderers?

The departures and arrivals will shape the Whites' squad for the upcoming season. Bolton Wanderers will face Wrexham, and George Thomason, again next season. The club will be looking to build on their promotion from League One and make a strong start to the new season.
