After bravely defying a serious knee injury to play in the Grand Final win against Hawthorn, Bolton was expected to consider retirement.
He is still weighing up his future, but told sydneyswans.com.au that he was hungry to continue into a 15th season with the Swans.
"The fire still burns to win another premiership. Once you get the taste for it, it's a pretty addictive feeling," the 32-year-old said.
"We just have to work it out and I still want to be able to contribute week-in, week-out and I think my body is in good enough shape to do that."
After the premiership win, Swans CEO Andrew Ireland and coach John Longmire sat down with Bolton and told him the club would accommodate him should he want to play on.
"He hasn't agreed to go on [but] there is a position on our list if he wants to," Ireland said.
"We've said to him, 'You go and have a think about it, there's a spot there if that's what you want to do, but you shouldn't rush into something where you might have other opportunities'.
"If he says yes, that's fine. We'll have a spot there for him."
Bolton's knee buckled in a sickening incident against Carlton in round 19 this year. He suffered partial tears of the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, but only missed three games and returned in round 23.
"I was lucky enough that I dodged a bullet in terms of the ACL and there is obviously a little bit of structural damage in there, but it was good enough to be able to change direction and still contribute [in the Grand Final]," he said.
Bolton - who this year became the third fastest player to reach 300 VFL/AFL games, behind only teammate Adam Goodes and Adelaide's Mark Ricciuto - believes the Swans' famous culture will prevent the club from resting on its laurels after the premiership.
"We’re not going to rest on our hands here, we don’t want to stand still and we want to move forward," Bolton said.
"Certainly that continual improvement is something we have strived for over the last number of years and that's what we’ll be doing through this off-season as well.
"There are some young leaders stepping into this side that are going to be the nucleus of this club for years to come and that's exciting times for the club and we're wrapped about how healthy the club is."
