For those that dont want him Ralph being very emphatic Bolton doesnt want to leave
Shai Bolton
has emphatically shut down rival interest, with his management making clear to Richmond list boss Blair Hartley he is going nowhere.
Fremantle did reach out to Bolton, as the Dockers also tried to poach Liam Baker
, to declare they would offer an exceptional draft package for the pair.
Bolton has four more seasons on a deal that can see him earn as much as $1.3 million a year, and bounced back to form against the Dockers after several quiet weeks.
When the news of the Dockers’ interest broke, rival clubs also made clear they would join the race if he had any interest in jumping ship.
But 25-year-old Bolton signed on at the end of 2022 until 2028 aware that the club’s golden era might not last forever.
He will eventually end up back in Perth late in his career or post-career, but will back in coach Adem Yze.
