Harry Brockbank has ended his time at Bolton Wanderers which spans some 16 years.
The 23-year-old joined Wanderers aged just seven and went on to play a total of 37 times for the club in all competitions.
Brockbank made his first-team debut in the Championship in April, 2019 following a loan spell in the National League with Salford City.

Brockbank then made eight appearances the following season, including one as captain when Wanderers fielded the youngest side in their history in a 0-0 draw with Coventry City in August, 2019 while the club was in administration.
The full-back played 18 times in League Two last season to help Ian Evatt’s men win promotion and has featured seven times this term, with his final appearance in a Wanderers’ shirt coming as a substitute at Rotherham on New Year’s Day.
He has now been released from his Bolton contract, which had been due to run until the summer of 2023, to pursue an opportunity in the USA.
Wanderers fans have taken to Twitter to have their say on the academy product's departure.
Though some have expressed surprise at the departure, supporters are united in their praise of the 23-year-old's contributions in a Bolton shirt and in particular being part of the youngest side Wanderers have ever fielded against Coventry City in 2019.
