Career
Club career
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.[3] After the match Bolton manager Neil Lennon described Clough as a special player.[4] Two days later he was rewarded with a contract extension until 2017.[5] He scored two goals on his senior league debut on 31 January against Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 2–2 draw.[6] 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.[7][8] 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.[9] His injury, a dislocated shoulder, put him out for the rest of the season following a display of refereeing branded "appalling" by manager Neil Lennon.[10]
