McAtee, whose younger brother James is at Manchester City, never played a game for Luton, after a previous spell on loan at Grimsby Town before his Barnsley stint.
But he will now be part of a Bolton squad looking for promotion after last season's play-off final defeat by Oxford United at Wembley.
They kick off their season away to Leyton Orient on Saturday (17:30 BST).
