Richard Taylor: Anglo-Nigerian defender joins Bromley on loan from Bolton in League One move

Bromley have signed Anglo-Nigerian centre-back Richard Taylor on loan from Bolton as the League One side continue to reshape their squad for the new campaign. The 25-year-old moves across the English pyramid from a Championship club to a team preparing for life in the third tier.

Taylor, who is eligible to represent both England and Nigeria, arrives at Bromley as a specialist central defender, adding depth and competition in a key area of the pitch. His switch comes with his market value currently listed at around €325,000, underlining the level of investment Bromley are making in their defensive options through the loan market.

The move represents a change of environment for Taylor after his spell at Bolton, where he was part of a squad operating in the second tier of English football. Dropping into League One gives him the opportunity for regular involvement in a side looking to establish themselves at a higher level.

Taylor’s combination of age and experience within the English system provides Bromley with a defender entering what are typically regarded as prime years for a centre-back. His arrival also offers tactical flexibility, with the club now able to adjust their defensive structure around a recognised central specialist.

The deal, completed on 25 July 2026, sees Taylor join Bromley on a loan transfer from Bolton as the League One club strengthen their back line ahead of the forthcoming season.
