Bury FC are delighted to confirm Chris Rowney has joined the club ahead of the 2023/24 season.
The midfielder has played under Andy Welsh for the last two seasons at Bury AFC and has made 76 apps, including 55 league starts and scored just once against Widnes in the FA Cup last season.
Chris started out at Oldham Athletic, before playing in non-league starting at Seel Park, with Mossley AFC making 72 appearances across two spells, he spent time at Woodley Sports in between.
In 2013, he joined Curzon Ashton where he would play for the next six years and was a part of their squads that were promoted to National League North.
He then travelled across the town of Ashton, to play at Hurst Cross for Ashton United before his time at Bury.
When asked about making the switch to Gigg Lane, Chris said: "It makes you feel proud to play for Bury FC. I think for any players around this level, this is a massive opportunity, that I’m willing to take and I’m excited to get going.”
“It’s an unbelievable ground, the pitch looks in amazing shape.”
He added that “pre-season will all-about getting minutes on board and the players gelling as a group”

Bury FC are delighted to confirm the addition of midfielder Jack Lenehan, who joins the club after leaving Atherton Collieries.
As a youngster, Jack played in Rochdale AFC’s youth setup, before moving to Chorley where he played a notable part in their 2018 Lancashire Cup success.
He then moved to Prescot Cables and followed then-manager Brian Richardson to FC United of Manchester in May 2019.
Jack then joined Atherton Collieries in October 2020, where he played until the end of the 2022/23 season.
Away from football, he’s also been a successful athlete previously for the well-regarded Southport Waterloo Track & Field.
Upon joining, Lenehan said:
“You only have to walk into the stadium to see the facilities. I spoke to Andy about the project and it’s something to be excited about and I’m looking forward to being a part of it.
“I’m looking forward to getting straight into pre-season and getting as fit as possible, and then it’s all about getting onto the pitch and hitting the ground running when the season starts.”
