Sarcevic captained Bolton to promotion from League Two last season in his first year at the University of Bolton Stadium, scoring 8 times in 35 appearances from midfield.

It was his second successive promotion from League Two, having finished in third place with Plymouth Argyle in 2019/20, and the fourth time in his career he has earned promotion from the fourth tier.

The 29-year-old began his career at Woodley Sports before going on to have spells at Crewe Alexandra, Chester City and Fleetwood Town.

He enjoyed a sensational first season at Fleetwood, topping the club’s assists charts and scoring 15 goals, the last of which proved to be the winner in the 2014 League Two play-off final against Burton Albion. His performances that year also earned him a place in the League Two `team of the year`.

Manchester-born, he spent a further two years at Highbury Stadium, appearing regularly and helping the club consolidate their place in League One – eventually leaving the club having made 138 appearances.

After a brief spell at Shrewsbury Town, he moved down south to Plymouth, where he soon became a fan favourite. Having signed in January, his performances in the second half of that season helped Plymouth clinch promotion to League One after securing a 2nd place finish.

He soon became known as the ‘Manchester Messi’ for his performances for the Green Army, and although the side suffered relegation back to the fourth division in 2019, Sarcevic remained to fire them back up at the first attempt.

He scored 10 goals in the league that season as Plymouth finished third, with his performances that year seeing him voted as their supporters’ player of the year.

That summer, he moved back up north to join Bolton, where he was immediately named as the club’s new captain.

After scoring on his debut, he quickly became a key part of the Bolton midfield as Ian Evatt’s side recovered from a slow start to the campaign, winning 16 of their final 22 games to clinch promotion with a 4-1 win over Crawley on the final day.

He made a further 14 appearances in League One in 2021/22, scoring 3 times.

Manager Simon Rusk told https://www.stockportcounty.com:

“I’m absolutely delighted to have Antoni join the group. During my first conversations with him here, I have already felt his hunger to succeed.

“He is clearly someone with a high level of experience and pedigree from his time in the Football League, which we believe can add to us both on and off the pitch”.
