Hugo Bolin

Bolin was born and raised in Borås, Sweden, where he began his football career with the local club Sjömarkens IF. Bolin comes from an athletic family; his father, Stefan Bolin, was a player for Sjömarkens IF, and his mother, Catarina, was a gymnast. Between the ages 10–14, he trialled several times a year with Chelsea, being teammates with Jamal Musiala among others. Bolin made his senior debut at the age of fifteen, recording 1 goal in 3 appearances in the Swedish 6th tier with Sandareds IF, the affiliate club of his youth team Sjömarkens IF.

Malmö FF

Having chosen to sign for the academy of Malmö FF at the age of sixteen – ahead of Borås' most decorated club IF Elfsborg – Bolin was later promoted to Malmö FF's first team prior to the 2022 season. Shortly after it was announced that Bolin would spend the season with BK Olympic on loan in Ettan Södra. In his first full season of senior football he registered 8 goals in 29 league appearances, and later praised head coach Mesut Meral for his development: "The coach Mesut (Meral) has been great. He has been clear about what he wants and he builds roles so that you know what to do in every situation. We also played in a way that I like." Bolin returned to Malmö FF for the 2023 season, and made his first Allsvenskan start against Degerfors IF on 5 June 2023 in the final match of his close friend Hugo Larsson, providing an assist in the 5–0 win. With playing time being sparse, Bolin was later in the summer sent on loan to just Degerfors IF. There, he scored his first Allsvenskan goal on 28 October 2023 in a 1–1 draw against Varbergs BoIS. He made headlines in the penultimate round of the league for his sacrificing defensive rush in the final minutes of a game against IF Elfsborg, where a goal by his hometown club would have secured the league title ahead of Malmö FF.
