Will Aimson explains why he joined Bolton Wanderers after signing two-year deal

Will Aimson pinpointed Ian Evatt, the style of football he has implemented at Bolton and the Wanderers fan base as the key factors behind his decision to join the League One club.

Aimson moves to Wanderers having spent the last two seasons back in his native West Country at Plymouth Argyle.

He played 46 games for the Green Army last term at Home Park after arriving on the South Coast from Bury.

He made 37 appearances and netted four goals at Gigg Lane for the Shakers following a move from Blackpool in 2018.

He was born in Dorset and began his career with Eastleigh before offered the opportunity of League football with Hull City in 2014.

Whilst in Humberside he had loan spells with Tamworth, Tranmere Rovers and Blackpool, joining the latter on a full-time basis in 2016.

A defender who can also play in midfield, Aimson has become Ian Evatt's latest summer transfer window signing at the University of Bolton Stadium and has put pen to paper on a two-year deal at the club.

And the defender revealed that he could not turn down the advances of a club like Wanderers when they came calling for his services.

Speaking to the club website, Aimson said: “I couldn’t be any happier that this is over the line. I’m buzzing to sign for a club like this with its stature in the game.

“You can go through your career and you might not get chance to sign for a club like Bolton Wanderers, so I had to take up the opportunity when it came.

“The manager, style of football and the fan base all played a big role in me coming here and I cannot wait to get going.”
