Adam Le Fondre has admitted that he is relishing his return to Bolton Wanderers this weekend after getting his career back on track at the Macron Stadium.

The 28-year-old spent time on loan with the Trotters last season, having fallen out of favour at Cardiff City.

Le Fondre, now temporarily plying his trade at Wolverhampton Wanderers, admits that he is "looking forward" to the chance to run out against his former side this weekend, but is adamant that collecting three points is the only thought on his mind.

"It felt like I was there for longer than the three months that it was with how it went and how the fans treated me," he is quoted as saying by the Express & Star.

"I had a great time there and it really reinvigorated me and re-established me. I really enjoyed my football there and was scoring goals again. I can't thank Bolton and Neil Lennon enough for the opportunity they gave me, but there can be no mixed feelings.

"On Saturday, I will be going back and giving my all to try and get a result for Wolves. I want to score in any game, whoever I am playing against and while I am looking forward to going to the Macron Stadium again, it is about trying to score and help Wolves to the three points."

Le Fondre scored eight goals during his three months on loan at Bolton, while he managed to get off the mark for Wolves in their last Championship outing.

Wolves boss Kenny Jackett revealed on loan striker Adam le Fondre has turned ‘chief scout’ ahead of Saturday’s trip to Bolton.



The 28-year-old hitman, who joined Wolves on a season-long loan from Cardiff City last month, spent the second half of last season with the Trotters.

And he is willing to share his knowledge of Neil Lennon’s Championship strugglers with his current club.

“He’s now chief scout and I’m looking forward to hearing what he has to say,” said Jackett of Le Fondre. “He says he needs a PowerPoint for his presentation so that’s going to be interesting.”

Jackett believes supporters are set to see the best of the striker, who arrived at Molineux lacking match fitness after an inconsistent pre-season.


But having scored his maiden goal for the club in last month’s 2-1 win over Charlton, the head coach believes he is ready to play a more active role.


Le Fondre has promised to show no sympathy to Bolton, despite crediting the club with ‘reinvigorating’ his career.

The striker netted eight times in three months after struggling for form at Cardiff and said: “It felt like I was there for longer than the three months that it was with how it went and how the fans treated me.

Will Wolves pick up all three points at Bolton?


“I had a great time there and it really reinvigorated me and re-established me.

“I really enjoyed my football there and was scoring goals again.

“I can’t thank Bolton and Neil Lennon enough for the opportunity they gave me, but there can be no mixed feelings.

“On Saturday, I will be going back and giving my all to try and get a result for Wolves.

“I want to score in any game, whoever I am playing against and while I am looking forward to going to the Macron Stadium again, it is about trying to score and help Wolves to the three points.”
