Bolland started his career with his home town team of Bradford City at the start of the 1997–98 season after progressing through the club's youth setup.
After struggling to break into the first team at Bradford, he joined Notts County, initially on loan, and then permanently for £75,000. Bolland was unexpectedly not given a contract extension by Notts County at the end of the 2004–05 season, prompting him to join Grimsby Town.
Now starting his third year at Grimsby, Bolland has established himself as a fans' favourite, thanks to his non-stop running and never-say-die attitude. He also pops up with the odd spectacular goal.Fact|date=July 2008 On
