Career

Club career

Born in Denton, Greater Manchester, Clough came through the Bolton Wanderers academy having joined the club at the age of 8. He made his debut for the first team aged 19 on 3 January 2015 when he started and scored the winning goal in a 1–0 home win against local rivals Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup 3rd round.[4][5] After the match Bolton manager Neil Lennon described Clough as a special player.[6] Two days later he was rewarded with a contract extension until 2017.[7] He scored two goals on his senior league debut on 31 January against Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 2–2 draw.[8] Clough won the penalty that gave Icelandic striker Eiður Guðjohnsen the opportunity to score the opening goal in a 1–2 loss at home to Liverpool in an FA Cup fourth round replay, after the match Fabrice Muamba described him as the best player on the pitch.[3][9]

On 28 February 2015, Clough scored a 6th goal in 9 games in a match against Brighton to make him Bolton's leading scorer for the 2014–15 season. However, in a league match, at the Macron against Reading, he was one of three Bolton players to go off injured in the first half.[10] His injury, a dislocated shoulder, prevented him playing for the remainder of the season.[11]
