Dom Telford - Prescot Cables (H) | Post-Match Interview | Bury FC

Our valiant FA Cup effort came to an end mid-week at Harrogate town, falling cruelly short of a FA Cup first round proper appearance for the first time since the 2018/19 season. But as one door closes another opens for The Shakers, with Prescot Cables visiting Gigg Lane in the FA Trophy First Round this weekend. The first in a run of four consecutive home games, Antony Johnson’s side will be hoping to make the most of our excellent home form against a side a division below. Our opposition currently sit third in the Northern Premier League West Division. In Opposition – Prescot Cables Prescot Cables were founded in 1884, with their name hailing from the largest local employer – insulated cables. The club’s glory years came in the mid-50s, where they were promoted to Lancashire Combination Division One, going on to win the league two seasons after, whilst recording a record 18-3 victory against Great Harwood. The club were promoted to the Northern Premier League Division One in the 2001/02 season, moving to their highest flight, the Northern Premier League Premier Division, just three seasons later. The club currently sit in the Northern Premier League West Division after relegation on the final day of the 2025/26 campaign.

Alfreton Town (A) | Match Highlights | NPL Premier | 2026/27

Bury FC are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder/forward Ryley Smith from Northern Premier League side Avro. The Bury-born player arrives at Gigg Lane having previously represented Trafford, as well as spending time at Blackpool, where he completed a scholarship. Capable of operating in midfield or further forward, Smith adds another option to Anthony Johnson’s squad as the Shakers continue their Northern Premier League Premier Division campaign. Smith has enjoyed a productive start to the 2026/27 campaign, scoring four goals in 12 appearances for Avro so far this season. The move sees Smith return to his hometown to pull on the Shakers shirt. Jonno said: “Really exciting player. He’s someone that we’ve been watching all season long. We were aware of him when he was at Trafford. He started really well this season with a few goals as well. He’ll enhance our attacking prowess from midfield. An unbelievable option for us. Someone who scores goals, someone who likes to dribble take men on.” The new signing will be unavailable for Saturday’s fixture due to being cup-tied and will also have to serve a three-match suspension. He is expected to be available for selection from our fixture against Bamber Bridge onwards. Welcome to Gigg Lane, Ryley! View the full article

Play it Safe has given young people aged 16-25, to take part in weekly football sessions to improve vital qualities such as fitness, skill development and teamwork. The programme delivered by Bury FC Community Sports Trust also recognises the importance of health and wellbeing of the next generation; therefore, participants have had the chance to take part in various different workshops covering topics such as mental health and wellbeing and sexual health awareness. A big thank you too our community partners; Andy’s Man Club, HCRG care group and Kooth for delivering workshops over the current weeks. What is next? In the coming weeks, alongside further football sessions at Gigg Lane, the programme will deliver additional workshops addressing important issues affecting young people, including debt management and knife crime awareness. These sessions will provide valuable information and support as the programme continues to help young people develop both on and off the pitch. Play it Safe sessions take place on Friday evenings from 6pm to 7.30pm. With only a few weeks left of the programme, if you’re aged 16–25 and interested in getting involved, there’s still time to join us!

Welcome back, Dom Telford! | New Signing Interview | Bury FC

Leo Graham - Harrogate Town (H) | Post-Match Interview | Bury FC

Bury Football Club is delighted to announce the return of striker Dom Telford, who rejoins the Shakers on a permanent deal from National League side Gateshead. The 29-year-old forward makes his long-awaited return to Gigg Lane, seven years after departing the club following our promotion-winning 2018/19 campaign. Telford will be a familiar face to Shakers supporters, having played an important role in Ryan Lowe’s side that secured promotion to League One. Originally joining Bury from Stoke City in the summer of 2018, Telford went on to make 48 appearances in all competitions, scoring 14 goals during his first spell at the club. Following his departure from Gigg Lane in 2019, Telford followed Ryan Lowe to Plymouth Argyle before moving to Newport County in January 2021. His impressive form earned him a move to Crawley Town, before subsequent spells with Barrow and Barnet. Telford joined Gateshead in the summer of 2025, making 22 appearances and scoring four goals during his time with the Heed. Now, seven years on from his departure, Telford returns to a very different Bury Football Club, with the Shakers having secured back-to-back promotions to reach the Northern Premier League Premier Division. His arrival adds further experience and attacking quality to Anthony Johnson’s squad as the Shakers look to continue their progress this season. Welcome back to Gigg Lane, Dom! View the full article

Anthony Johnson - Harrogate Town (H) | Post-Match Interview | Bury FC

It’s back to Emirates FA Cup action this weekend as The Shakers welcome Harrogate Town in the Fourth Qualifying Round. Our journey so far has seen us best Wythenshawe and Workington, before edging past Bromsgrove Sporting, all at home. Our opponents are high fliers two steps above in the National League, beating Woking in their last outing to move to second. This fixture marks the sides first competitive meeting, with the fixture being broadcast on the BBC. In Opposition – Harrogate Town Despite waiting until 1919 for their first competitive fixture, Harrogate Town were formed in 1914 by a group of locals as ‘Harrogate Hotspur’. In the 1920-21 season, the side entertained high profile friendlies during the holiday period, including visiting Anfield to play Liverpool, and facing Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United in front of 15,000 fans. The club reached the football league for the first time in 2020 when they beat Notts County 3-1 at Wembley in the Play-off final, where they stayed for six years until relegation in the 2025/26 season. Harrogate Town reached the FA Cup Third Round last year where they made the short trip to visit local rivals Leeds United, narrowly losing 1-0.
