The 29-year-old signed for the newly formed Bury in August from Cymru North side Colwyn Bay.

Bryant (pictured) had joined Bay in May 2019 from the Purps` league rivals Runcorn Linnets.

A product of the Manchester United academy, he signed professional forms with Reading, where he was loaned out to Basingstoke Town, then in the Conference South, and achieved the rare feat of scoring a double hat-trick against Weymouth.

He also had spells at Gloucester City, Hungerford Town, Swindon Supermarine, Cirencester Town, Cambridge City, Frome Town, Royston Town and Hitchin Town, before moving back to Manchester in 2014.

He had two spells with Mossley AFC and also played for Trafford and Clitheroe before joining Linnets in 2017.

He left for a spell at Glossop North End before returning to Runcorn in January 2019.

The Purps have also signed goalkeeper Theo Roberts.

The 22-year-old joins from Vanarama National League North side Curzon Ashton.

He started his career at Wigan Athletic before moving to Chester FC in 2018 and was loaned by the Seals to Buxton, Atherton Collieries and Mossley AFC during his time at the Deva Stadium.

Roberts particularly excelled during his spell at Buxton, nailing down the number one jersey with a string of stellar performances which earned him a place in the 2018/19 Northern Premier League team of the season and the club`s player awards.

He signed for Curzon Ashton in the summer of 2020.
