Born in Chingford, East London, Bolger started his rugby league career as a youth and an amateur player for Conference South side St Albans Centurions, starting as a 13-year-old, as well as playing for Saracens F.C., Chingford RFC, and representing the county of Essex, in rugby union. He signed for the Harlequins RL Under-16s after the St. Albans Centurions and was their academy player of the year for 2009. After signing professionally for the Harlequins RL at the start of 2010's Super League XV, Bolger made his début for the Harlequins RL (later London Broncos) in the season opener against Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, coming off the bench.[4][5]
Along with his younger brother Sam, Bolger moved to the United Arab Emirates, and joined the Abu Dhabi Harlequins club in 2013, immediately becoming captain of the side and leading them in their inaugural rugby league campaign.[citation needed]
