Bogdán signed a new contract with Bolton in March 2011. This kept him at the club until 2014.
During the 2011–12 season, Bogdán got more chances to play. This was because the main goalkeeper was injured. He played well during this time. On 14 May 2012, he was named Bolton's Player of the Year. This award is voted for by the fans. He felt mixed emotions about the award.
