Fleetwood Town Adds Experience with Signing of Two Former Professional Footballers

Fleetwood Town has announced the signing of two new players, former Everton midfielder Mackenzie Hunt and defender James Bolton from St Mirren. Bolton, 29, has signed a two-year contract and brings experience from playing for various clubs such as Macclesfield, Halifax, Gateshead, Shrewsbury, Portsmouth, and Plymouth, where he was part of the League One winning squad in 2022-23.

On the other hand, Hunt, 22, was released by Everton earlier this summer and has also signed a two-year deal with Fleetwood. Despite being on Everton’s books since the age of 13, he never made a senior appearance for the club. However, he expressed his excitement about joining Fleetwood and praised the manager’s ambitions. He is eager to start playing “proper football” and believes that Fleetwood is the right place for him to do that.

Hunt has experience in competitions like the Bristol Street Motors Trophy with Everton’s under-21s and is looking forward to making an impact with Fleetwood and contributing to the team’s success in the upcoming season. With both players bringing valuable experience to the team, Fleetwood Town will be hoping to bounce back from a disappointing season with their new signings.
