Harrogate Town, Tue 20th Oct, 7:45PM (A)
Bury Football Club is delighted to announce the return of striker Dom Telford, who rejoins the Shakers on a permanent deal from National League side Gateshead.
The 29-year-old forward makes his long-awaited return to Gigg Lane, seven years after departing the club following our promotion-winning 2018/19 campaign.
Telford will be a familiar face to Shakers supporters, having played an important role in Ryan Lowe’s side that secured promotion to League One.
Originally joining Bury from Stoke City in the summer of 2018, Telford went on to make 48 appearances in all competitions, scoring 14 goals during his first spell at the club.
Following his departure from Gigg Lane in 2019, Telford followed Ryan Lowe to Plymouth Argyle before moving to Newport County in January 2021.
His impressive form earned him a move to Crawley Town, before subsequent spells with Barrow and Barnet.
Telford joined Gateshead in the summer of 2025, making 22 appearances and scoring four goals during his time with the Heed.
Now, seven years on from his departure, Telford returns to a very different Bury Football Club, with the Shakers having secured back-to-back promotions to reach the Northern Premier League Premier Division.
His arrival adds further experience and attacking quality to Anthony Johnson’s squad as the Shakers look to continue their progress this season.
Welcome back to Gigg Lane, Dom!
