Bury FC are delighted to announce that former Wigan & Oldham youngster Sean Higgins has joined the club.
The 20-year-old can play in a number of positions including full-back and central midfield.
Sean started out at Wigan Athletic before moving to Oldham in July 2019. Following two years at Boundary Park, he joined Altrincham before moving to Matlock last summer and then onto Bury AFC in December 2022.
Higgins made 36 appearances under Andy Welsh last season scoring four goals. He’s also had loan spells at Stalybridge Celtic & Trafford in the last few seasons.
Speaking to buryfc.co.uk Sean said:
“I think the project that they are building here is massive, you look at the stadium, you look at the fans they’ve got now, it was a no-brainer to join and I’m looking forward to a big season ahead.
“Playing under the gaffer last year was a really good experience in terms of getting me back and I enjoyed every minute playing last year and fingers crossed I can do the same here this season and push us to win the title.
“I’m being put into the team to do my job and help the team wherever possible. I’m fit, I’m dynamic and I bring a lot of energy, so hopefully when I’m called upon, I’ll do a job.”
