Danny Racchi has signed a twelve month contract at Gigg Lane.

The former Huddersfield Town youngster joined up with the Shakers for the start of pre-season training on a trial basis, and has obviously done enough to be offered a contract by Alan Knill.

Danny announced his decision earlier this week by using his 'Facebook' profile with a simple message saying 'signing for Bury on Friday'.  We can now confirm Danny's Facebook status by stating that he has officially signed.

A product of the Youth System at Huddersfield Town, right-sided Danny can play in either defence or midfield and signed his first professional deal ahead of the 2006/07 season with the Terriers.He was one of only two players to have come through the academy at Huddersfield to have been offered a contract extension in May 2007 until the summer of 2008.

With the introduction of a new manager at the Galpharm Stadium, former Shakers gaffer Stan Ternent, Danny suddenly found himself without a club after being released at the end of last season.Danny becomes the fifth summer signing for Alan Knill.
