Japanese midfielder Atsuki Ito joined Bolton Wanderers on a permanent three-year deal from Belgian club KRC Gent in late August 2026. The 28-year-old, who has earned three caps for the Japanese national team, joined the English Championship side to provide versatility in both the number 8 and number 10 roles.

Shortly after his arrival, Ito made an immediate impact on the pitch. On September 20, he entered a match against Norwich City as a substitute in the 70th minute with the score tied at 3-3. Two minutes later, he scored a left-footed shot from outside the penalty area to secure a 4-3 comeback victory, marking Bolton’s first consecutive wins of the season.
