Bolton Wanderers – How the club’s 2023 departures have fared
THE departures of Kieran Sadlier and Declan John on deadline day made it a round dozen players who have been shipped out by Wanderers during 2023.
Ian Evatt paired down his squad in the summer and the club has now registered its squad list after the summer window.
But while Sadlier and John have not yet officially started ‘life after Wanderers’ we decided to take a look at how the other 10 players have fared since they walked out of the door.
ELIAS KACHUNGA
Divided opinion for much of his time with Wanderers – and was certainly known more for scoring important goals than scoring a lot of them.
Kachunga was released in the summer after two seasons with the Whites where he had scored six times in 91 appearances in all competitions, including one in the Papa Johns Trophy final against Plymouth Argyle.
He stayed in League One with Cambridge United and has played a part in a fine start for Mark Bonner’s side, who currently sit sixth. The 31-year-old has started two of their seven games and scored in a 2-1 defeat against Stevenage.
Homegrown defender Senior – a lifelong Wanderer – had spent time out on loan at York, Chorley, Telford and Halifax before his release in the summer.
He made seven first team appearances for the Whites, scoring once, and has already matched that record after signing a permanent deal with the Shaymen in the National League.
JOEL DIXON
Released after two seasons with Wanderers, Dixon sealed a move to National League Hartlepool in the summer and has started each of their six games so far.
John Askey’s side have made a solid start, winning all four of their home games, and currently sit fourth in the table.
MJ WILLIAMS
Agree a move to League Two MK Dons not long after his contract at Bolton was extended by 12 months via an appearance clause.
