We are pleased to confirm the loan signing of midfielder Regan Riley from Radcliffe.
The 22-year-old arrives at Gigg Lane with an impressive footballing background, having progressed through the Bolton Wanderers academy, where he spent over a decade before making his senior debut as a 16-year-old in August 2019 against Tranmere Rovers.
Riley went on to sign for Norwich City in the summer of 2021 for a significant fee, spending three seasons with the Championship side. During his time at Carrow Road, he became a regular feature for their Under-21 squad, continuing his development in a highly competitive environment.
Born in Bolton, Riley returned to Greater Manchester in 2024 with Radcliffe, where he established himself as a versatile and committed player. Primarily recognised as a box-to-box midfielder, he brings tenacity, intelligence, and energy to the middle of the park. His ability to win duels, read the game, and contribute defensively and offensively makes him a valuable addition to the squad.
In addition to his midfield qualities, Riley is also capable of operating as a right back or right wing-back, offering further versatility to the team.
Manager, Dave McNabb said: “Regan is box to box midfielder who can also play as a full back. He is very technical and brings a real energy and athleticism.”
Everyone at Bury FC extends a warm welcome to Regan, and we look forward to seeing him in action at Gigg Lane.
