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. On October 13, Ito secured his second goal of the season during a 3-1 Championship victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Playing in a more attacking second-striker role in his first start since joining the club, Ito scored in the 28th minute with a right-footed volley following a short corner routine. Local media described the performance and the match as “one of the best under manager Steven Schumacher.”
