Parker in loan move to Bury

Keigan Parker: Loaned out to Bury.

KEIGAN Parker has left Athletic to join Bury on a month’s loan.

And with Athletic manager Dave Penney dropping Parker from the squad entirely for the game at Stockport in midweek, the writing was on the wall for a player whose career has been on a downward spiral since leaving Blackpool.
