    Incoming: Ruben Jerome

    We are delighted to confirm our first new arrival of pre season, prolific striker, Ruben Jerome.

    The 29-year-old makes the lateral move across Step 5 to join us from NCEL side Emley AFC.

    Ruben was the top scorer in the NCEL Premier Division last season with 39 goals taking his side to the league title.

    His career started at Southport before spells at Ramsbottom, Workington & Warrington Town. It will be the first time Rueben has played in the North West Counties League and we are excited to see him pull on the white and blue.

    Football runs in his family, with his brother Cameron having played in the Premier League with the likes of Birmingham City & Crystal Palace.

    On signing Ruben, manager Dave McNabb commented:
        We can’t wait to see Ruben in action this coming season! And with a squad to develop in the coming weeks, who else will be joining him? Keep up with the latest signing news across our social media feeds.

    Head of Recruitment Jimmy Holmes provides an update

    It’s that time of the season where players take a well earned break. But from a recruitment point of view it can be the busiest time of the year.

    Retained & released lists have been announced and the competition for signing players begins.
    The first part of this recruitment process is retention. Although it sounds easy to most, Keeping your current players at your own club takes planning and preparation. We remain in negotiations with some players but as you have probably seen, a number of the players that our management team looked to retain have decided that their futures lies elsewhere.

    Sometimes a player’s valuation & a club’s valuation can be worlds apart so we have to admit defeat in certain areas and move on if we feel it isn’t in the best interests of the club. We can’t bow down to unrealistic demands. Once that retention is all confirmed then we can move on to our main transfer targets.

    The players we have identified are ones that will suit the manager’s philosophy & playing style plus the demands of this league and the problems it brings. Players that will be comfortable on our new 3G surface moving forward were also taken into consideration.

    This stage of the recruitment process is vital. I’m in constant dialogue with agents offering a wide range of players from all over the UK, that said we have our own targets that we have identified over a number of months, We can’t move away from those if we want to be successful.

    We want players that can play at the level that we are at but also players that we believe can play at the next level and beyond especially with the demands that a club like Bury has. We want players to grow with the club and become fan favourites.

    Recruiting the players that can handle the crowd and the expectations takes a lot more preparation than you would believe. Taking everything into consideration we have basically had to build a brand new squad that we believe suits Bury FC as a whole.

    We don’t want to have a large playing squad. Quality over quantity is the way forward so our fans can start to identify with the players and the team can have an identity of its own. We look forward to the new season and the challenges it brings. We know how difficult the league is and we won’t underestimate anyone.

    Thanks for your continued support as always.

    Jimmy.

    Behind the scenes with a Treasureline winner!

    Once again, we have been working behind the scenes with the guys at NYCDA to get out to visit recent Treasureline supporting winners to find out more about them and their connection to Bury FC.

    For a number of reasons not everyone wants to share the limelight, so we were very grateful of the time spent with Charles Stinson recently.

    Now Charles has recently won £1000 from the NYCDA Weekly Draw, as part of his support of the youth and community based projects our Treasureline partnership helps fund. It was great to share the good news with him and interesting to find out just how long he had been supporting Bury FC this way.

    Based on the other side of Manchester Road in Redvales, Charles has lived in Bury for more than two decades and supported the club’s various lottery related efforts all that time.

    After meeting him at his place of work on Walshaw Road, he is the first to confess to being a Sunderland FC season ticket holder. Interestingly he has enjoyed his times at Gigg Lane over the years and most importantly, he has always had a soft spot for Bury FC and its commitment to the local community we live in.

    You too could be a winner like Charles for as little as £1 per week. For information including how to join and weekly results, as well as some insights as to where the proceeds are used and the kind of work this partnership will continue to support, click here.
