He was a Carlow SHC runner-up in 2022 after Bagenalstown Gaels was defeated by St Mullin's in the final.^[1] Bolger has also lined out with Maynooth University in the Fitzgibbon Cup.^[2]

Bolger began his inter-county career with Carlow during a two-year tenure with the minor team in 2018 and 2019. He was part of the team that beat Meath to claim the Leinster MH Shield title in his final year as a minor.^[3] He was immediately drafted onto the under-20 team, however, his three seasons in this grade ended without success. Bolger claimed a Joe McDonagh Cup winners' medal after a 2–29 to 1–31 defeat of Offaly in the 2023 final.^[4]
