Bury Football Club are delighted to welcome Freddie Machell to the club’s Emerging Talent Group ahead of the new season.
The 20-year-old midfielder joins the Shakers after an impressive spell with Padiham, where he played a key role in the club’s successful promotion-winning campaign to the Northern Premier League West Division.
Comfortable anywhere across midfield, Machell arrives at Gigg Lane with plenty of potential and valuable experience despite his young age. He also made history during his time at Padiham by becoming the club’s first-ever contracted player, underlining the faith shown in his ability and development.
Freddie’s ambition, versatility and desire to continue progressing make him an exciting addition to the Emerging Talent Group.
As part of his continued development, Freddie will join Clitheroe FC on loan until January 2027, allowing him to gain further first-team experience and continue his progression in the game.
Everyone at Bury FC would like to welcome Freddie to the club and wish him every success during his loan spell.
