New Signing: Gavin Massey

We are delighted to announce the signing of attacker Gavin Massey.

The 32-year-old joins the Shakers after leaving AFC Fylde in the summer and brings over 400 EFL appearances to Gigg Lane.

He started out at Watford, making various loan moves until he left in 2012 to sign permanently for Colchester United, after a loan move in the previous season.

Massey then moved from Essex to London, where he spent a season at Leyton Orient before a move to Wigan in 2017, where he went on to make over 150 appearances in five seasons.

Port Vale were his last club in the EFL, where he played for two seasons, until he joined AFC Fylde last summer.

He’s made seven appearances against the Shakers to date, most recently off the bench for Wigan in the 2017/18 season. His last start at Gigg Lane brought him a goal and an assist for Colchester United in a 5-2 defeat in February 2016.
Manager, Dave McNabb said:
Massey will be available for selection for Saturday’s Isuzu FA Trophy tie against Wythenshawe Town.

You’ll be able to hear his first interview on the club’s YouTube channel very shortly.

Match Info: Stalybridge Celtic (H), Mon 25th Aug, 3pm KO

Three games in nine days – it doesn’t happen too often at this level, but we will once again face Stalybridge Celtic for our Bank Holiday Monday fixture at Gigg Lane.


The Shakers will be looking to make amends for last Tuesday’s Emirates FA Cup defeat and pick up all three points.


We picked up a point on the road at Congleton Town on Saturday. Radcliffe loanee Regan Riley made his Bury debut, as he begins his three-month loan spell, you can hear more from him below.


Manager Dave McNabb reflected after the game on how he would need to review recovery amongst the squad, with some players carrying knocks. Aaron Chalmers was withdrawn after 16 minutes due to injury on Saturday. Scott Duxbury & Owen Robinson also remain out through injury.


Just a point separates the two sides at this early stage of the season, with Stalybridge playing a game more. So get down to Gigg Lane and enjoy your bank holiday Monday in the right style!



In Opposition – Stalybridge Celtic

Celtic trace their history back to 1909 and have long been a strong non-league side in this part of the world. They have many successes to their credit – not least twice getting through to the FA Cup second round proper.


They fell to a 3-1 defeat of Witton Albion on Saturday afternoon, meaning they’ve won one drawn one and lost one from their opening three in the NPL West this season.


Former Shakers Ruben Jerome, Jordan Butterworth, Jack Tinning, Charlie Doyle and Andy Scarisbrick are all within the Stalybridge Celtic playing squad.

Bury FC secure loan signing of Regan Riley

We are pleased to confirm the loan signing of midfielder Regan Riley from Radcliffe.


The 22-year-old arrives at Gigg Lane with an impressive footballing background, having progressed through the Bolton Wanderers academy, where he spent over a decade before making his senior debut as a 16-year-old in August 2019 against Tranmere Rovers.


Riley went on to sign for Norwich City in the summer of 2021 for a significant fee, spending three seasons with the Championship side. During his time at Carrow Road, he became a regular feature for their Under-21 squad, continuing his development in a highly competitive environment.


Born in Bolton, Riley returned to Greater Manchester in 2024 with Radcliffe, where he established himself as a versatile and committed player. Primarily recognised as a box-to-box midfielder, he brings tenacity, intelligence, and energy to the middle of the park. His ability to win duels, read the game, and contribute defensively and offensively makes him a valuable addition to the squad.

In addition to his midfield qualities, Riley is also capable of operating as a right back or right wing-back, offering further versatility to the team.


Manager, Dave McNabb said: “Regan is box to box midfielder who can also play as a full back. He is very technical and brings a real energy and athleticism.”


Everyone at Bury FC extends a warm welcome to Regan, and we look forward to seeing him in action at Gigg Lane.

Match Info: Congleton Town (A), Sat 23rd Aug, 3pm KO

It was FA Cup heartbreak for The Shakers on Tuesday as we were on the wrong side of 2-0 scoreline in what was a tough encounter against a very strong Stalybridge side.


We are back into league action this Saturday and Dave and his Team will be looking to right the wrongs from Tuesday night as we travel to Cheshire to face Congleton.

The Bears almost won promotion last season so we know that it will once again be another tough game against a strong side, which will be followed just 48 hours later by a third in nine days against none other than Celtic.

As we face these challenges, we must take encouragement from the results of our two previous league matches. We had no great problem in defeating Newcastle Town at home and earned a creditable draw away to Avro.

So please – let’s tame the Bears. Let’s have noisy numbers at the Cleric Stadium, and then at Gigg Lane on Monday. Get behind the lads. Up the Shakers!
In Opposition – Congleton Town

Town have been around as a notable force in regional leagues since 1901 and last season narrowly missed out on promotion to the NPL Premier Division.

They finished third in the league – top of the four play-off places. In the semi-final they beat Chasetown 4-3 on penalties but lost 2-0 to Hednesford Town in the final.

So far this time round they’ve lost 3-1 away to Sporting Khalsa, drawn 2-2 with Mossley at home and on Tuesday lost 1-0 at Stafford Rangers.
