We are delighted to confirm the signing of forward Lewis Byrne from Chadderton.
The 27-year-old has excelled himself since his break into North West Counties Football just over three years ago.
Joining Bacup Borough at the start of the 2021/22 season, from Sunday league side Avenue FC in Middleton.
He left Brent Peters’ side for Chadderton in the summer after scoring 27 goals last season and crowning them winners of the Edward Case Cup, with a stunning free-kick against Euxton Villa in the final.
The scoring form has continued into this season with 34 goals in 38 games, including 10 goals in his last eight games.
Upon signing for the club, Lewis said: “When I heard that Bury wanted to sign me it was the best feeling that I have had in football to date.
“I spoke to Dave about the club’s ambitions which go much further than this season, the experience of the team and the infrastructure that is in place which has everything to take myself and the whole club to the next level and beyond.
“I’m so happy to be a part of this club’s journey which is only heading one way.”
Manager, Dave McNabb added: “Lewis is a natural goalscorer with a brilliant range of finishing and an instinct to be in the right place at the right time.
“His goalscoring record for the last 3 seasons is evident of this. Capable of playing anywhere across the front line he will give us even more firepower heading into the final third of the season.”
The signing is subject to NWCFL & FA approval.
