The experienced central midfielder arrives at Gigg Lane with an outstanding footballing pedigree, having developed through the academy system at Manchester City, where he captained the club’s Elite Development Squad and represented England national under-17 football team at youth level.
A composed midfielder, Glendon built his senior experience in the EFL with Fleetwood Town and Carlisle United, making more than 70 appearances across League One and League Two football.
Following his move into non-league football, Glendon became one of the standout midfielders in the National League North during his time with Chester FC. Across six seasons with the Blues, he made over 150 appearances, scored more than 20 goals and established himself as club captain, earning widespread praise for his leadership, consistency and quality on the ball.
Most recently, Glendon featured for Radcliffe, making 26 appearances during the 2024/25 season, with his experience and composure in midfield underlining the qualities he will bring to Bury FC.
George will link up with Anthony Dudley and the rest of his new teammates when pre-season begins later this summer.

He returns to Gigg Lane having first come through the youth ranks at Bury FC, making his Football League debut for the club in January 2014 against Burton Albion.
Now returning to the Shakers with over a decade of senior experience behind him, Dudley brings proven quality, versatility and attacking threat to the squad.
During his first spell with Bury, Dudley gained valuable experience through loan spells with Guiseley AFC and Macclesfield Town, impressing with his pace and eye for goal in the National League.
A move to Salford City followed in 2017, where he first linked up with manager Anthony Johnson, and helped the club secure the National League North title during the 2017/18 campaign. Dudley later enjoyed a successful spell with Chester FC, initially on loan before making the move permanent, going on to make more than 140 league appearances and scoring over 30 goals for the Seals.
Most recently, Dudley has featured for Radcliffe, making 30 appearances in the 2024/25 season, continuing to demonstrate the experience and attacking quality that have made him a well-known figure across the non-league pyramid.
Anthony will link up with his new teammates when pre-season begins later this summer.

Two first half goals from Ellie Cook and Ava Hanson saw Jason Jarrett’s team take a 2-0 lead into the break against FC St Helens at Chester’s Deva Stadium.
Substitute Nia Wharton added a third midway through the second half before Cook put the icing on the cake in the 89th minute to seal the victory.
It caps off a perfect campaign for the Shakers, which started with a walkover against Macclesfield, that saw them concede 0 goals on their way to victory.
The run to the trophy included a 7-0 win against Winton Wanderers before dispatching Fleetwood Town 9-0.
A 1-0 away win at Poulton saw them secure their spot in the final before the win against FC St Helens on Sunday.
Speaking about the cup success manager Jason Jarrett said: “Winning the plate trophy has capped off a fantastic run of form!
We feel like we have made huge progress these last few months and the determination and mindset of the players has been rewarded with a trophy for all their hard work.
On Sunday, the girls gave me one of my proudest moments in football and I’m sure we will create more memorable moments in the future.
I’d like to thank our staff and coaches, as well as the behind-the-scenes staff Kirsty, Lisa and Casey – who do amazing work for us that goes unseen but their work means we have a setup that many of the teams at our level and above are envious of. I’d also like to thank all the volunteers and fans who have supported us throughout the season.
Lastly I’d like to thank my back room staff Mike, Joe and India who have been fantastic additions to our coaching team this season. Sunday was made even more memorable for me by sharing it with my right hand man Gary Pratt, we’ve been friends for over 30 years and his support and knowledge is priceless.
We will now enjoy the off season but we are so excited to bring even more success to this amazing club!”

The initiative reflects the club’s long term commitment to nurturing homegrown talent and strengthening the pathway into senior football at Gigg Lane. By providing ambitious young players with opportunities to train and compete in a professional environment, the Emerging Talent Group will act as an important bridge between grassroots football and the club’s senior setup.
On Saturday 9th May, almost 40 players were invited to Gigg Lane to take part in a series of trial matches, giving them the opportunity to showcase their abilities in front of the club’s First Team and Under-21s management teams.
The trials featured a high standard of competition, with players demonstrating their technical quality, athleticism and determination throughout the day.
Club staff were impressed not only by the level of talent on display, but also by the attitude and commitment shown by the players involved. The event marked the first major step in establishing the new programme, which aims to create a sustainable development pathway for talented young footballers in the region.
Players selected to join the Emerging Talent Group will be closely involved with the club throughout pre-season, taking part in training sessions and featuring in a number of matches as they continue their development.
This exposure will allow coaching staff to assess players in competitive and professional environments while helping individuals adapt to the demands of senior football.
The first signing to the Emerging Talent Group is 20 year old forward Oliver Hodgson, who spent last season at Bacup Borough in the North West Counties First Division North, scoring 23 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions.
The creation of the Emerging Talent Group underlines Bury Football Club’s ambition to invest in young players and strengthen its connection with the local football community.
By identifying and supporting emerging talent early, the club hopes to create future opportunities both for players and for the continued progression of the football club itself.
Further updates regarding the Emerging Talent Group and pre-season fixtures, including a trip to face Bacup Borough, will be announced in due course.

About our new Eco-kit
Along with our partners at Hope + Glory, we want to play our part in helping to protect the planet.
Our new Eco-kits are a part of our commitment to a sustainable future, making football kits using rPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) with a lower environmental impact. Both the shirt and shorts are made from rPET fabric, which is made from recycled plastic bottles that have been melted down to produce a fine yarn.
Every shirt is manufactured using a piece of fabric made from the equivalent of approximately 16 plastic bottles. Our EcoKit material behaves in the same way virgin polyester would meaning no difference in performance from our standard kits – if anything the EcoKit fabric has a more premium feel, smoother to the touch and slightly lighter.
Once the pre-order window ends the production of the shirts will start with expected delivery early/mid July.
The pre-order window closes on 19th May 2026, but you can place your order and be one of the first to wear our iconic new shirt.
