LUKE BOLTON is no stranger to playing for a club in the limelight with famous owners so signing for Wrexham suits him down to the ground.

The 24-year-old wide-man has joined the Reds for an undisclosed fee from Salford City and put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half year contract, keeping him at The Racecourse until the end of the 2025-26 season.

After coming through the Manchester City Academy, Bolton has loan spells with Wycombe Wanderers, Luton Town and Dundee United before signing for Salford in January 2022.

The Ammies are owned by a group of former Manchester United players, including Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs, and a documentary was made following the club's fortunes.

Wrexham have also been thrust into the spotlight under Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, with the club's popularity soaring all over the world following their own documentary series which has become a huge hit, so having the cameras following the players around is nothing new to Bolton.

"I am used to doing media and having cameras around so that won't bother me at all," said Bolton.

"It is part of the modern game. You have to sell yourself and do all the things that maybe years ago footballers wouldn't want to do.

"It is something I take in my stride and it is my job at the end of the day as well as playing football."

Bolton, who scored six goals in 79 league appearances for Salford, jumped at the chance to join Wrexham's promotion challenge.

"My agent got in touch with me a few weeks back and said Phil Parkinson had been in touch and they would like to make something happen," he said.

"Then typical football, you don't hear anything for a while but it hotted up a couple of weeks ago.

"A few bids went in and then whatever happened between the clubs has got me to here.

"This season hasn't been what we wanted it to be as a squad but I really enjoyed my time at Salford.

"My contract was up in the summer and Wrexham is something that I felt I couldn't turn down with the exposure they get and where I think the club is going, and I wanted to be part of that."

Bolton, who can play as a winger or full-back, will be suited to the 5-3-2 formation favoured by Parkinson and he wants to excite supporters.

"Supporters can expect someone who will give their all," he added.

"I like to get at players and I like to get fans off their seats.

"I would say I am more on the attacking side. A winger or converted wing-back rather than a full-back.

"We played a few systems at Salford like 4-3-3 and 3-5-2 so I have had experience of playing wing-back.

"Hopefully I can come into a side that is doing really well and help them out or improve them."
