Afolayan to Amaechi - Bolton Wanderers' 21/22 transfer business with 16 signings rated

Bolton Wanderers made a total of 16 signings across both transfer windows in the 2021/22 campaign in League One.

Nine were made in the summer as Wanderers prepared for life back in the third tier of English football. A further seven were made earlier this year as the squad was transformed once again.

The Whites ended up in the top 10 with a points tally of 73 points, 10 behind the play-off places as the standard needed to make the top six went up a level. Wanderers are aiming for a promotion charge in earnest next season.

And they have already got their summer recruitment off to a great start with the acquisition of defender Jack Iredale from Cambridge United. He has signed a three-year deal at Wanderers and joins a free transfer.

Here we take a look at last season's signings and rate the business done by the Whites in the past 12 months.

Josh Sheehan - 6/10

Summer signing from Newport County hit the ground running when he joined the club, scoring goals in his first two League One games for the club. Was limited to 20 appearances after suffered a ruptured ACL in November which ended his season. A player who will be looking to replicate his early campaign form when he returns to action in pre-season.

Joel Dixon - 6/10

Arrived from Barrow over the summer and quickly became the club's number one goalkeeper ahead of Matt Gilks in the first half of the campaign. But was ultimately ousted as first choice after not convincing consistently enough and one of last acts this season was error which led to Hartlepool United dumping Wanderers out of the Papa John's Trophy in early January.

Dapo Afolayan - 9/10

What a signing
