James Neild extends contract

Bury FC can confirm that James Neild has extended his contract until the end of the 2027/28 season.


Neild joined the Shakers in October 2025 following his departure from Warrington Rylands, where he had spent three seasons and captained the club during the 2023/24 campaign.


The defender played a key role in our title-winning 2025/26 season, making 30 appearances across all competitions, including 28 starts, and playing 2,558 minutes.


He has continued to be a regular this season, starting 12 matches so far. Neild has also scored once and registered an assist, with his goal coming in the 3-2 victory over Curzon Ashton.


Since joining the club, Neild has established himself as an important figure both on and off the pitch.



Manager Anthony Johnson was delighted to secure Neild’s future with the club.


For Neildy, the decision to extend his stay was an easy one after experiencing life at Bury since his arrival last year.


Neild has previously played for Warrington Rylands, Curzon Ashton, Hyde United, New Mills and Trafford, and will now remain at Gigg Lane through to the end of the 2027/28 season.

Match Info: Bromsgrove Sporting (H), Sat 3rd Oct, 3pm KO

After beating Gainsborough Trinity on penalties last Saturday, The Shakers turn their attention to an FA Cup Third Qualifying Round fixture against Bromsgrove Sporting.


Anthony Johnson’s side will be hoping to make it three for three this weekend after beating Workington and Gainsborough in successive cup fixtures.


With another three goals scored on Saturday, Bury’s goal tally this season stands at 35, averaging nearly 4 goals a game at home.


Bromsgrove Sporting, who play in the Southern League Premier Division Central, visit Gigg Lane off the back of a midweek draw against Leamington.
In Opposition – Bromsgrove Sporting

Established in 2009, Bromsgrove Sporting was formed in response to the town’s club, Bromsgrove Rovers, being left without a senior non-league football club after financial collapse.


The club picked up their first piece of silverware in the Smedley Crooke Memorial Challenge Cup in the 2013/14 season, and earned promotion to the Midland Football League Division One with 104 points three seasons later.


In 2024, the club secured Step 3 status and recorded their highest ever league and points tally at that level.



Bromsgrove Sporting’s ownership model doesn’t allow one individual to hold more than 10% of the club, reflecting the previous club’s storied history of financial collapse.

Own a Piece of the Season – Sponsor a Bury FC Playing Shirt

Bury FC supporters have the opportunity to own a special piece of the 2026/27 season by sponsoring a first-team player’s shirt – but with just a handful of shirts still available, you’ll need to be quick.

For £80 + VAT, supporters can sponsor one of the remaining Bury FC playing shirts for the 2026/27 campaign and, at the end of the season, receive a match-worn shirt, personally signed by the squad.

It’s the perfect opportunity to get closer to the team while securing a unique piece of Bury FC memorabilia from the season.

Your Players. Their Shirt. Yours to Keep.

Throughout the campaign, your chosen shirt number will be worn as the Shakers compete during the 2026/27 season.

Once the season is complete, the shirt will be yours, match worn and signed by the playing squad, creating a fantastic keepsake that captures a piece of Bury FC history.

Whether you’re sponsoring your favourite number, buying the package as a gift for a fellow Shaker or simply looking to add something truly unique to your Bury FC collection, player shirt sponsorship offers something that can’t be bought from the Club Shop.

Your sponsorship includes:
Sponsorship of an available Bury FC first-team playing shirt for the 2026/27 season
Match-worn shirt at the end of the campaign
The shirt personally signed by the playing squad
Your name next to the shirt number in the matchday programme
A unique piece of memorabilia from the Shakers’ 2026/27 season
Just a Handful Remain
Availability is now extremely limited, with only a small number of playing shirts remaining for sponsorship.

Luca Navarro departs

Following an approach, Bury Football Club have agreed a deal with Stafford Rangers for the transfer of Luca Navarro.

The 26-year old was Anthony Johnson’s first signing in February and went on to make 22 appearances in White and Blue.

His most notable moment for the Shakers came in April when he was a 71st minute substitute as we trailed 1-0 against Congleton Town.

Navarro scored two goals in two minutes that turned the game on its head and helped push the Club towards the Northern Premier League West title.

Speaking on his departure, manager Anthony Johnson said:
We echo Jonno’s thoughts and thank him for his efforts in White & Blue and wish him the best of luck in the future!
