    New Signing: Patrick Jarrett

    Bury Football Club are delighted to confirm the signing of midfielder Patrick Jarrett.
     
    The 22-year-old has joined the Shakers after leaving Scottish’s side Queen’s Park in the summer.

    Born in Nantwich, he spent two years at Nantwich Town before moving into the academy at Stoke City, playing for the clubs up to the Under 21s before moving to Queen’s Park in 2022.

    Jarrett is a versatile player and can play across positions in midfield. He also offers great skill and has contributed a lot to creating chances at his former clubs.

    Manager, Dave McNabb added: “We’re really excited to see Pat settle in and show what he can do. I first watched Pat three years ago when he was on loan at Nantwich and he was outstanding.

    “He’s had some brilliant experiences since then playing at a really high level. I’m hopeful he can add to our midfield options and help push us on towards our goals for the season.”

    Jarrett will go into tonight’s squad for the Manchester Cup game against Abbey Hey.

    Match Info: Abbey Hey (A), Weds 16th Oct, 7.45pm KO

    The FA Cup defeat at Harborough was a crushing blow, and ended our great run of 21 matches unbeaten in all competitions. But we’ve picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves down, and are all set for more cup action this week. First up are Abbey Hey, with Chadderton to follow in the Isuzu FA Vase at Gigg Lane on Saturday.
     
    The Shakers go into the Abbey Hey game with a squad of players mainly from the Under-23 team. This gives the youngsters an opportunity to shine and provides a bit of a break for players who have given so much in a hugely demanding season.
     
    The Under-23s are currently top of the 10-team Lancashire age-group league, with four wins out of four games played.
     
    The Premier Cup is awarded by the Manchester FA. The holders, Ashton United, have won the competition – full title the Frank Hannah Premier Cup – more often than any other club: 16 times in its 90-year history.
        In Opposition – Abbey Hey
    Abbey Hey made a reasonable start in their first season back in the NWCFL Premier Division after a break of five years, but have slumped in recent weeks. They are currently 10th in the league, six places below Bury, who have played five fewer games.
     
    Our 7-1 win at Abbey Hey back in August was the Shakers’ biggest of the season so far. Abbey Hey’s 2-1 victory at Burscough on Saturday was only the second in their last six games.
     
    The Gorton club reclaimed a place in the Premier Division by winning the 2023-24 play-offs in the league’s First Division South.

    Club Statement: Fireworks Display

    The club will not be hosting a fireworks display this year.
     
    Over the summer we installed a new playing surface and a display of this nature would not be appropriate.
     
    A number of supporters have enquired about this event over the past few weeks, with letting supporters know in advance then it helps to plan to attend other events.
     
    We hope you can understand.

    Bury FC x UCFB – Pitch Partnership

    We are delighted to confirm our new pitch partnership with the University Campus of Football Business (UCFB).

    The Manchester-based University will play a number of their Wednesday afternoon fixtures at Gigg Lane for the 2024/25 season.

    UCFB hosted a small sided tournament at the stadium last month to begin the partnership.

    Brendan Flood, Chairman and CEO, UCFB said: “I am delighted that UCFB’s elite football teams will have the opportunity to be based at Gigg Lane for the 2024/2025 Season. 
     
    “The move will provide our student footballers with a fantastic opportunity to play their home fixtures at a wonderful stadium steeped in football history, helping to create the environment for both our Women’s and Men’s teams to thrive. 

    “Furthermore, this builds on the emerging relationship between UCFB and Bury FC, which will benefit all parties and the wider community.”

    Bury FC CEO, Neil Sears added: “We are delighted to announce this pitch partnership with UCFB.  Having attended the University myself, I know first hand the importance of gaining real world knowledge along with practical experience. 

    “By collaborating with UCFB, this will both allow Bury FC to optimize the pitch usage during times which are traditionally harder to fill whilst also supporting the next generation of students hoping to get started in the sports industry. 

    “We look forward to a continued partnership with UCFB which both benefits the club and also adds real value to industry.”
