Northern Ireland full-back Conor Bradley believes his loan spell at Bolton "toughened him up" and was "vital" in boosting his development.
The 19-year old made 53 appearances in all competitions during his spell with Wanderers.
He won the Papa John's Trophy with the club and believes he is now ready to return to Liverpool this summer.
"It was an unreal season, it was everything I wished for and more," said Bradley.
"To play that many games, that is what I wanted to go and do. It has toughened me up a bit and it was vital for me.
