But you can't register them, so effectively a club would have to be happy to pay their wages until January, without them being able to play. At least that is my understanding.
I think the free agent window is Sept 2nd and you are able to register free agents until then, however:
"However, clubs can still sign free agents throughout the course of the year even if they miss the deadline, as long as they were not registered to another team at the start of the season."
I don't think Bolton/Bury players would be able to be signed due to the above rule.
