Holden, who struggled with a series of knee injuries during his time at the Macron Stadium, told Bolton’s official website: “From day one I was welcomed to the club with open arms and I have felt part of the Bolton Wanderers family ever since.
“I will always be a Bolton Wanderers supporter and the club will forever hold a special place in my heart. I’m already looking forward to the next opportunity at which I’m able to come back and say hello to everyone.
“If all we have now are memories then let’s remember the best – beating Blackburn Rovers 2-1 on derby day.”
