Ex-Bolton Wanderers, Aston Villa & Blackpool forward poised to seal League One club move

Former Bolton Wanderers forward Nathan Delfouneso is close to joining fellow League One side Accrington Stanley.

The 31-year-old departed Wanderers earlier this summer after his contract expired. He signed a two-year deal with the club in the summer of 2020 and is now a free agent.

Over his two years at the club, Aston Villa youth team product and former Blackpool attacker Delfouneso turned out 67 times for the Whites. In that time, he found the back of the net 10 times.

Delfouneso spent the second half of last season on loan at League Two side Bradford City. He made half a dozen appearances at Valley Parade in that time and was released by Wanderers over the summer.

The forward has been a free agent since the conclusion of his Bolton contract. As free agents can join new clubs outside of a transfer window, Delfouneso is able to join a new team immediately.

It appears he is now close to joining Bolton's League One rivals Accrington. A report from journalist Alan Nixon on his Patreon page suggests Stanley are close to offering Delfouneso a contract.
