Cian Thomas Bolger is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Southend United.

Leicester City

Bolger was born in Celbridge, County Kildare, Ireland,[2] and was Leicester City's academy Player of the Year in 2009.[3]

Loans to Bristol Rovers

He made his debut in the Football League, while on loan at Bristol Rovers, when he came on as a 78th-minute substitute for Carl Regan in a 6–1 defeat to Walsall on 29 January 2011.[4] He scored an own goal against Brighton and Hove Albion on 5 February 2011 in a 2–4 defeat for Rovers, this defeat left Rovers 23rd in the league one point above Dagenham and Redbridge. In his 4th game for the club against Rochdale on 8 February 2011 he was sent off for the first time in his senior career after a second yellow card for a poor challenge on Chris O'Grady.[5] Bolger's first win with the club came on his 6th appearance against Tranmere Rovers on 8 March 2011. Bolger played the full 90 minutes in the 1–0 victory.[6]

On 11 July, Cian Bolger returned to Bristol Rovers on a 6-month loan deal.[7] On 24 September 2011, Bolger scored the first professional goal of his career against Morecombe, and followed this up with the third Gas goal in a thrilling 5–2 victory at home to Rotherham United.

On 31 August, Cian Bolger returned to Bristol Rovers for a third time, until 1 January 2013. On 8 September 2012 he sustained cruciate ligament injury in Bristol Rovers 2–2 draw against Aldershot Town, which prevented him from playing for over 3 months.[8] He made his comeback on Boxing Day, coincidentally in another 2–2 draw against Aldershot, playing the full 90 minutes.

Bolton Wanderers

On 31 January 2013, Bolger signed for Bolton Wanderers.[9][10] On 28 March, he scored the winner for Bolton Wanderers Reserves in a 3–2 win over Stoke City Reserves. He is a former captain of the Bolton Development squad but didn't make any appearances for the first team squad during his time at Bolton.

Colchester United (loan)

Southend United

On 21 February 2014, Bolger joined League Two side Southend United on a 28-day loan,[12] but his loan spell was cut short after just one appearance due to an ankle injury on 24 February 2014.[13]

On 5 August 2014 Bolger signed a two-year permanent deal with Southend United.

On 14 April 2015, Bolger scored his first goal for Southend United in the 45th minute against Newport County with a towering header. Bolger scored Southend's final penalty in the shootout in the Play Off Final on 23 May 2015, Southend were promoted winning 7-6.
