Cheltenham Town academy product Tom King has signed for Bolton Wanderers following a successful trial.
The 19-year-old forward was released by the Robins at the end of last season.
He has agreed a two-year deal with the Whites, with the option of a further 12 months, and will initially link up with the Championship club's Under-21s squad.
King, who is from Dursley, made 11 first-team appearances for Cheltenham, scoring once in an EFL Trophy tie against West Ham United Under-21s in October 2024.
He made his EFL debut on the opening day of the 2023/24 season away at Shrewsbury Town in League One, becoming the club's youngest Football League player.
A loan spell at Worthing last season yielded a goal in a 4-0 home win over Hemel Hempstead before it was cut short by injury.
