Ricky Shakes has revealed that he would be happy to stay at Bury.
Ricky Shakes has revealed that he would be happy to turn his loan move at Bury into a permanent arrangement.Shakes arrived at Gigg Lane from Bolton in March and has made a positive impression on the club's paymasters.
The forward is unsure where his future lies as his contract is up for renewal in the summer, but he says he would happily stay at Bury if Bolton boss Sam Allardyce opts to release him.
"I'm out of contract at the end of the season," he told Bury's official website. "I don't know the situation with me at Bolton at the moment, I'm here at Bury until the end of the season and we will see what happens after that.
"Bolton will tell me what's going to happen at the end of the season, but we will wait and see what the gaffer says here at Bury, and if I got the opportunity I would love to stay at Bury.
"They are a good set of players and a good manager, I can't go wrong here."
Bury defender Matt Barrass has gone under the surgeon's knife once again in a bid to find the root cause of his knee complaint.
The 25-year-old has been plagued by a knee injury since joining Bury back in 1996 and has had six similar operations.
Barrass was told after his last operation that his career looked over, but he has sought another opinion and it would appear that his latest operation places him in the last-chance saloon.
