Axel Hugo Bolin (born 24 July 2003) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for German Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach and the Sweden national team.[2][3][4][5]

Early life and career

[edit source]

Bolin was born and raised in Borås, Sweden, where he began his football career with the local club Sjömarkens IF. Bolin comes from an athletic family; his father, Stefan Bolin, was a player for Sjömarkens IF, and his mother, Catarina, was a gymnast.[6] Between the ages 10–14, he trialled several times a year with Chelsea, being teammates with Jamal Musiala among others.[7] Bolin made his senior debut at the age of fifteen, recording 1 goal in 3 appearances in the Swedish 6th tier with Sandareds IF, the affiliate club of his youth team Sjömarkens IF.

Club career

[edit source]

Malmö FF

[edit source]

Having chosen to sign for the academy of Malmö FF at the age of sixteen – ahead of Borås' most decorated club IF Elfsborg – Bolin was later promoted to Malmö FF's first team prior to the 2022 season.[8] Shortly after it was announced that Bolin would spend the season with BK Olympic on loan in Ettan Södra.[9][10] In his first full season of senior football he registered 8 goals in 29 league appearances, and later praised head coach Mesut Meral for his development: "The coach Mesut (Meral) has been great. He has been clear about what he wants and he builds roles so that you know what to do in every situation. We also played in a way that I like."[11]

Bolin returned to Malmö FF for the 2023 season, and made his first Allsvenskan start against Degerfors IF on 5 June 2023 in the final match of his close friend Hugo Larsson, providing an assist in the 5–0 win.[12] With playing time being sparse, Bolin was later in the summer sent on loan to just Degerfors IF.[13] There, he scored his first Allsvenskan goal on 28 October 2023 in a 1–1 draw against Varbergs BoIS.[14] He made headlines in the penultimate round of the league for his sacrificing defensive rush in the final minutes of a game against IF Elfsborg, where a goal by his hometown club would have secured the league title ahead of Malmö FF.[15][16]

Borussia Mönchengladbach

[edit source]

On 2 February 2026, Bolin was loaned by Borussia Mönchengladbach in Germany, with an option to buy.[17] One and a half month later, the Bundesliga club exercised their option, signing Bolin on a contract until the summer of 2030.[18] On 16 May 2026, the last matchday of the 2025–26 Bundesliga, he scored his first goal for the club in a 4–0 win against Hoffenheim.[19]

International career

[edit source]

Bolin made his full international debut for the Sweden national team on 14 October 2024, replacing Sebastian Nanasi in the 83rd minute of a UEFA Nations League game against Estonia which Sweden won 3–0.[20]
