We are delighted to confirm the signing of striker Joe Duckworth. The 22-year-old joins the Shakers from Witton Albion in the Northern Premier League.
He’s made 52 appearances for the club across their last two seasons, scoring 23 goals.
Joe’s breakout season was at Winsford United in the 2018/19 season, which brought a total of 28 goals in 47 games across two seasons at the Barton Stadium.
He also had a spell with FC United of Manchester playing for them in the Fenix Trophy, scoring three goals in as many games as well as grabbing a goal in the New Years Day 2022 clash against Radcliffe.
The manager gave buryfc.co.uk his thoughts on Joe joining up this week:
“Joe’s a player I’ve admired for a long time. He’s quick and direct and gives us a different option across the top line.
“We hope this is another player who excites the supporters, and that those fans will get behind him, and all the team, in pursuit of the goals required to propel is forward.”
Joe also reacted to his move to up Bury from Cheshire:
“I am over the moon to have signed for Bury, ever since speaking to the manager it became an opportunity I could not turn down for several reasons.
“His ambition is one that matches mine and I cannot wait to be playing in front of the fantastic fans, who support the team in numbers week-in, week-out. Time to get together and achieve promotion.”
Get on down to Gigg Lane this weekend to see Joe in action, grab your ticket HERE.
