We are delighted to announce the signing of defender Ben Hockenhull.   The 22-year-old joins us after leaving Tranmere Rovers in the summer.   Ben came through the youth ranks at Manchester United before signing a pro deal at Brentford and spent 2 years there before moving to Tranmere in 2022.   Spent most of his time at Tranmere on loan at Warrington Rylands, Chorley, Spennymoor and Southport making 20 appearances in the Northern Premier League and 20 in the National League

The club is sad to report that Saturday’s game will be Efe Ambrose’s last for the club.   Arriving on a wave of publicity, we were delighted to welcome Efe to Gigg Lane over the summer, he became an instant hit with the fans and the wider footballing community to see him continuing in the game.   The former Celtic player, 35, who had gained experience in the Champions League and secured 4-league titles north of the border as well as international recognition with Nigeria securing t

As we fly through the off season, our colleagues at NYCDA have been out and about once more to visit recent Treasureline supporting winners. These are always nice events to showcase what we do, as well as finding out more about them and their connection to Bury FC and the town in general. Next up we made the short trip up Bolton Road to visit Margaret Dudley to help her celebrate her recent win. Whilst not being the biggest Bury FC fan herself, it was nice to hear about Margaret’s pleasure

Our Women’s first team start the season tonight against Salford City Lionesses. In the opening game of the season the girls will look to start the campaign under Jason Jarrett as they mean to go on.   Last week Salford were beaten 1-0 in a tough away opener against Tranmere Rovers.
