Former Wanderers youngster Adam Senior has opened up about his recent departure from the club.

Senior came through the ranks at Bolton and went on to make seven first-team appearances in total.

The defender captained the B Team in the Central League at times last season and also had loan spells at Telford and Halifax in the non-league pyramid.

He was one of several youngsters released at the end of their respective deals this summer along with Connor Stanley, Lynford Sackey, Matt Grivosti and Mackenzie Chapman.

Senior completed a permanent move to Halifax earlier this month, signing a two-year deal with the Shaymen.

The 21-year-old says he knew 12 months ago that the writing was on the wall for his time at Wanderers.

"I knew was it happening last summer really," he told Halifax Courier. “I went in for pre-season and I knew already really what was happening, so it wasn't really as much of a shock as it could have been.

"I found out on Twitter, which was bad, but we were already close to signing with Halifax. It's just one of those things."

Halifax finished 11th in the National League last term and also won the FA Trophy following a 1-0 victory against Gateshead at Wembley.

"When I came in on loan, I knew what the situation was with me regarding the end of the season” Senior added. "It felt like a loan with a view to signing, and I enjoyed it.

"I didn't know many of the lads when I first came in but all of them were great with me - the staff, the fans, they've always been good with me.

"I enjoyed my first five or six months, really enjoyed it. I played every game I was available for and I feel, at this moment in time, it's the right club for my career.

"The gaffer puts a lot of faith into us. It's a good club and every year they are always promoting players back into the league - it's got a good history of that."
