BURY Town have signed Craig Parker until at least the end of the season and Adam Tann on loan for a third month.

Parker, who spent three months on loan at the Ryman League Premier Division club earlier this season, cancelled his contract with Chelmsford City by mutual consent a week ago.

The former Needham Market midfielder has been looking to get fixed up with a new club since then and a return to Ram Meadow - Parker lives close to the ground - always looked a likely option.

Tann, meanwhile, has extended his loan deal from Chelmsford City for a third month.

The news is a double boost for Bury, who are slipping behind in their bid for a play-off spot for a third season running following four successive league defeats.
