Jesurun Uchegbulam signs ahead of the 2026/27 season

The 25-year old winger arrives at Salford Van Hire Gigg Lane Stadium with a wealth of non-league experience over the last eight years.

His career started in the AC Milan Academy at the age of 7 before relocating to England with his family at 15 years old.

Spells at Stockport Town and Mossley followed, with Uchegbulam signing his first professional contract when he joined Chesterfield in July 2022.

He was part of the Oldham side that achieved promotion back to the EFL in 2025, picking up the assist for James Norwood’s equaliser in extra-time.

Most recently, he featured for Chelmsford City – scoring and assisting on his debut in the FA Cup – and spent a short time at Welsh Champions The New Saints before mutually agreeing to leave ahead of joining the Shakers.

Speaking on the addition of Uchegbulam, manager Anthony Johnson said:
Jesurun joins The Shakers subject to international clearance.

John Clarke signs for the Shakers

We are delighted to confirm the signing of John Clarke ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The 22-year-old left-back joins the Shakers following his departure from Reading, where he spent four years after signing in 2022.

Clarke made his senior debut for the Royals before overcoming a serious knee ligament injury and gaining further experience on loan at National League South side Slough Town last season.

Clarke made an immediate impression, scoring twice in last Tuesday night’s pre-season victory over Wigan Athletic U21s, and says Bury’s ambition and style of play made the move an easy decision.

Manager Anthony Johnson believes Clarke has all the attributes to become an important player for the club.

Everyone at Bury Football Club would like to welcome John to Gigg Lane and wish him every success in a Shakers shirt.
