RICHMOND, Va. — The Richmond Kickers have signed veteran midfielder Matt Bolduc for the remainder of the 2026 season, the club announced Friday.
The midfielder has made five appearances for the Kickers in 2026, starting in three contests while logging 261 total minutes on the pitch. The signing marks the eighth professional season Bolduc will complete as a member of the Kickers.
Before joining Richmond on a 25-day contract Bolduc was most recently with USL League One side Sarasota Paradise, making six appearances with the team in May 2026. The 31-year-old found the back of the net against the New York Cosmos on May 30, converting an equalizer in the 67th minute en route to a comeback 2-1 victory.
A native of Peterborough, New Hampshire, Bolduc was with the Kickers throughout the 2025 season, registering 14 appearances while contributing a goal and an assist.
Bolduc was a staple of the Kickers’ lineups from 2017-22, where he registered over 100 appearances in six seasons and a team-high 29 games played (22 starts) in 2021. Bolduc would play a supplemental role in the subsequent season, helping lead the Kickers to the 2022 USL League One Players’ Shield while registering three starts in USL1 competition.
Bolduc and the Kickers continue their season as they host USL1 side Sarasota Paradise on Friday, July 3 at 7:30 p.m. EST. Get your tickets for Red, White and Roo today at richmondkickers.com/tickets and follow all of the action live at @richmondkickers on Instagram, Facebook and X (Twitter).
