Former Bolton defender Rob Holding has opened up on the leadership qualities he honed at Wanderers he is now putting to good use at Arsenal and how a loan move to Newcastle United did not come to pass.
The 26-year-old came through the ranks at Wanderers and made a total of 30 appearances for the club during the 2015/16 season, scoring once against MK Dons. His performances then earned him a move to Arsenal in the summer of 2016 for an initial reported fee of around £2m.
Holding has gone on to make 138 appearances for the Gunners and score three goals. He has won the both the FA Cup and the Community Shield on two occasions during his time in North London.
