King's Lynn Town confirm loan signing of Bolton Wanderers defender

King's Lynn Town have today announced the loan signing of defender Jak Hickman from League Two side Bolton Wanderers.

The 22-year-old will be at The Walks for the rest of the season, as the Linnets look to bolster their threadbare squad for their remaining National League fixtures.

A number of Linnets players are being furloughed because of the club's perilous financial situation.

Hickman, a former Coventry City youth player, joined Bolton last summer, and has made seven appearances for them in all competitions. He has also played for Ashton United, Bromsgrove and Hereford.

Linnets' director of football Rob Back said: “The club wishes to place on record its thanks to Bolton Wanderers Football Club and Jak’s agent, Max Hassell, in getting the paperwork completed so quickly for the player to come to King’s Lynn Town Football Club.”
