Greg Bolger is an Irish midfielder, born on 9 September 1988 (age 37), whose work has largely been done in the less decorative part of the pitch. A central defensive midfielder by trade, he has been associated with Cork City, where that sort of role tends to be noticed more when it goes missing.
His most productive league season came earlier in his career, with UCD in 2010, when he scored seven goals in 29 appearances. That was a useful return for a player not primarily judged on goals, and it remains the clear attacking high point in his league record.
Bolger’s career has been built around midfield discipline rather than headline numbers. From UCD to Cork City, the shape of it is straightforward enough: an experienced Irish midfielder, generally used to sit, screen and keep a side functioning.
