Biography

Steelers' ‘iron-man’ played 187 consecutive grade matches - then a record in the Sydney premiership – during the 1980s. The durable hooker, a local junior from the Collegians club, got his start in I’warra's first season in the NSWRL after experienced rake Barry Jensen was forced to retire with a neck injury. I’warra ‘Player of the Year’ in 1983 and 1987, Bolt played in 210 grade games during his career, including a club record 167 first grade appearances. The winner of the ‘Ken Stephen Award’ for services to the code in 1990, he has since served as a member of the NSWRL and NRL Judiciaries.
