Born in Los Angeles, Bolkiah started his football career with AFC Newbury from where he moved to the famous Southampton academy in 2009.
Although he wasn't handed a contract he was offered a trial by Arsenal in 2013 and played for the Gunners in the Lion City Cup where he even scored for them.
Chelsea quickly swapped in to hand him a contract which he signed. After just a year in London with Chelsea, Bolkiah joined Leicester City on a three-year contract.
Although eligible to play for the United States of America, Bolkiah opted to play for Brunei and has had nine appearances for his country with just a goal.
