Bolton Wanderers are pleased to announce the signing of midfielder Ethan Hamilton on a loan until the end of the season, subject to clearance.

The 21-year-old joined Manchester United at the age of 16, after playing for Edinburgh-based youth side Hutchinson Vale, the same side that produced United and Scotland international Darren Fletcher.

In 2019, Hamilton joined Rochdale on loan, coming in under the tutelage of Keith Hill at the Crown Oil Arena.

This season, former under-19 international Hamilton plied his trade for Southend United in Sky Bet League One, making 18 appearances and scoring one goal.
