Greg Bolger

Greg Bolger of Cork City was born in Wexford, Rep. Ireland on 9 September 1988 (age 37).

Greg Bolger, born on 9 September 1988 (age 37), is an Irish central defensive midfielder associated with Cork City. He has spent his career in the League of Ireland, working in the sort of role that rarely asks for much ornament.

His most productive league season came at UCD in 2010, when he scored 7 goals in 29 appearances. For a defensive midfielder, that was a useful return rather than a small detail.

Bolger later became part of Cork Cityโ€™s midfield, where his game has been built around position, control and the less glamorous work in front of the back line. His career has been a steady domestic one, with UCD providing the clearest scoring peak and Cork City the main reference point of his later years.

Every listed move was a free transfer, with no loans or fees recorded. The sequence from Dundalk to St Patrickโ€™s Athletic, Cork City, Shamrock Rovers, Sligo Rovers and back to Cork City suggests movement within the Irish domestic market rather than a clear step up or down in level.
