Wrexham Sign Luke Bolton and Jack Marriott from Salford City and Fleetwood Town
Wrexham has completed the signing of Salford City defender Luke Bolton and centre-forward Jack Marriott from Fleetwood Town, both for undisclosed fees. Marriott, 29, has signed until 2025, while Bolton has agreed to a deal running until 2026. Bolton, a product of the Manchester City academy, has been used as a right-sided full-back and a winger throughout his career.
Bolton gained his first experience of senior football on loan at Wycombe Wanderers and played alongside Wrexham’s Elliot Lee in a 24-game spell at Luton Town. He scored his first professional goal while on loan at Dundee United. Marriott began his career at Ipswich Town before a move to Luton, where he was the club’s top scorer in his first season.
Both players are seen as important additions to the squad as Wrexham looks to continue their success in League Two, currently sitting second in the table. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson described Bolton as a good addition to the squad, adding: “He’s going to be a player that adds real pace and dynamism to the team.” Parkinson also believes Marriott will enhance his squad as the north Wales club seeks back-to-back promotions. “He’s got proven experience at a higher level and comes to us looking to make a real contribution in our second half of the season,” said the Wrexham boss.
Bolton and Marriott’s signings come at a crucial time for Wrexham as they look to maintain their momentum and push for the title. The additions of Bolton and Marriott demonstrate the club’s ambition and determination to achieve success in the upcoming seasons.
Additionally, Luke Bolton has represented England at the under-20 level and was part of the Three Lions squad that won the Toulon Tournament in 2017. Jack Marriott won the League One golden boot award while at Peterborough United and reached the 2019 Championship play-off final with Derby County. These historic achievements add depth to the impact these signings will have on Wrexham and their future in the football world.
