Dom Telford Returns to Gigg Lane!

Bury Football Club is delighted to announce the return of striker Dom Telford, who rejoins the Shakers on a permanent deal from National League side Gateshead.
The 29-year-old forward makes his long-awaited return to Gigg Lane, seven years after departing the club following our promotion-winning 2018/19 campaign.
Telford will be a familiar face to Shakers supporters, having played an important role in Ryan Lowe’s side that secured promotion to League One.
Originally joining Bury from Stoke City in the summer of 2018, Telford went on to make 48 appearances in all competitions, scoring 14 goals during his first spell at the club.
Following his departure from Gigg Lane in 2019, Telford followed Ryan Lowe to Plymouth Argyle before moving to Newport County in January 2021.
His impressive form earned him a move to Crawley Town, before subsequent spells with Barrow and Barnet.
Telford joined Gateshead in the summer of 2025, making 22 appearances and scoring four goals during his time with the Heed.
Now, seven years on from his departure, Telford returns to a very different Bury Football Club, with the Shakers having secured back-to-back promotions to reach the Northern Premier League Premier Division.
His arrival adds further experience and attacking quality to Anthony Johnson’s squad as the Shakers look to continue their progress this season.
Welcome back to Gigg Lane, Dom!

Match Info: Harrogate Town (H), Sat 17th Oct, 12:30pm KO

It’s back to Emirates FA Cup action this weekend as The Shakers welcome Harrogate Town in the Fourth Qualifying Round.


Our journey so far has seen us best Wythenshawe and Workington, before edging past Bromsgrove Sporting, all at home.


Our opponents are high fliers two steps above in the National League, beating Woking in their last outing to move to second.


This fixture marks the sides first competitive meeting, with the fixture being broadcast on the BBC.
In Opposition – Harrogate Town

Despite waiting until 1919 for their first competitive fixture, Harrogate Town were formed in 1914 by a group of locals as ‘Harrogate Hotspur’.


In the 1920-21 season, the side entertained high profile friendlies during the holiday period, including visiting Anfield to play Liverpool, and facing Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United in front of 15,000 fans.


The club reached the football league for the first time in 2020 when they beat Notts County 3-1 at Wembley in the Play-off final, where they stayed for six years until relegation in the 2025/26 season.


Harrogate Town reached the FA Cup Third Round last year where they made the short trip to visit local rivals Leeds United, narrowly losing 1-0.
