Bury Football Club can confirm that Bebeto Gomes has completed a permanent transfer to Stafford Rangers for an undisclosed fee.

The move brings an end to a hugely successful two-year spell at Gigg Lane, during which Bebeto played a key role in one of the most memorable periods in the club’s recent history.

Since arriving at Bury, Bebeto has been an integral part of the squad that secured back-to-back league titles, helping drive the club’s rise with his quality, commitment, and professionalism both on and off the pitch.

His performances have made him a firm favourite amongst the Shakers faithful, and his contribution to the club’s success will not be forgotten.

While everyone at Bury FC would have loved to see Bebeto continue his journey at Gigg Lane, the player received an opportunity from Stafford Rangers that he felt he could not turn down. After discussions between all parties, the club agreed to the transfer and wishes to thank Bebeto for everything he has given during his time in a Bury shirt.

Bebeto leaves Gigg Lane having helped deliver two league championships and countless memorable moments for supporters. He departs with the gratitude and best wishes of everyone connected with Bury Football Club.
