Luca Connell is looking forward to returning to Bolton Wanderers as a senior player on Saturday, with his old club in a far better state to the one he experienced first hand.
Before being sold to Celtic in the summer of 2019, Connell had been thrust on to centre-stage at Bolton, with several first team players having left the club due to financial turmoil. Wanderers entered administration and it was a worrying, messy time for the football club, with Connell only 17-years-old at the time.
He returned to England in the latest transfer window, with Barnsley snapping him up from the Scottish giants. Connell will be back at Bolton as a Tyke this weekend and looking to take three points off his old club. But, despite those turbulent times, he has appreciation for the platform Bolton gave him in his early career.
