We are delighted to confirm the signing of Lewis Rawsthorn from Radcliffe on a permanent deal, further strengthening our attacking options.

We start 2026 on the road as we take on Stalybridge Celtic at Bower Fold. This will be our fourth meeting with them this season, following encounters in the FA Cup (twice) and the league in quick succession back in August. Tim Lees brings his side into this fixture on the back of three consecutive wins, becoming the first Shakers manager since Lee Clark to boast a 100% record after three games in a full season.

We are delighted to announce the signing of defender Bailey Sloane ahead of the busy Christmas period.
