Striker Anthony Dudley has returned to his parent club Bury after a successful loan spell with the Lions.

Dudley scored five goals in seven appearances for the club, having initially joined in October before seeing his loan extended, but has returned to Gigg Lane after being recalled by the League One club.

Everyone at the club thanks Anthony for his efforts while at Nethermoor and wish him well with his career.

Manager Mark Bower said: “He’s been doing well for us and they look at it, see he’s scored a few goals, and I think they’ve got a few injuries as well.

“So he’s needed back there for the time being but he goes with our best wishes and hopefully the loan has done him good.

“It’s maybe one we can look at again in January and we can possibly look at getting him back if the situation changes there.”
