Adam Senior is out of contract at Wanderers this summer – but right now his sole focus is performing well on loan at Halifax.

The Bolton-born defender has made a handful of first-team appearances for the Whites since his debut in 2019.

He is currently developing his skills in the National League and also impressed during a stint at Telford earlier this season.

Senior told The Halifax Courier: "I haven't thought about it to be honest, that's football.

"I just try not to think about it and with me being on loan at Halifax now, I'm just trying to get on with playing my football. I know they watch all my games and they speak to me every week.

"They've always kept track of me on all my loans, so I know how they work with loan players, having been on five loans.”

Senior has seen some tough times since joining Wanderers but says the club is now “a good place to be”.

He added: "When you're from there as well, to have supported them and played for them, it's good.

"There’s been ups and downs - obviously they were in the Premier League and then the club went into administration and nearly went (bust). We weren't getting paid.

"But now it's back on the rise and it's a good place now. It's not back to the Premier League but it's a good place to be."

Halifax find themselves 17th in the National League table – six points above the drop zone at this stage of the campaign.

Senior played 90 minutes against leaders Notts County last weekend and is hopeful the Shaymen can end their poor league form.

"It's a good group of lads, good management staff," he said. "Saturday was a tough game because they're up there at the top of the league so it was always going to be a tough place to go.

"We just need to keep working as a team and get back to winning ways, which I think will happen.

"I've been in a lot of dressing rooms and I've been at a lot of clubs. The fan base here, from what I've seen so far, expect to be winning and have high expectations. I've been at a lot of clubs where it's been like that.

"You get bad results but that happens to everyone, every year. At Bolton last year, we had a bad run of games but then we started winning and we were unbeaten until the end of the season pretty much. It just happens in football.

"The gaffer knows what he's doing. It is just about grinding this bad period out and then once you do that, you start flying again."
