Cambridge City pair Taylor Parr and Mikey Davis switch to Bury Town

Following the announcement of a number of new arrivals in recent weeks, two members of the previous season’s squad have had their Cambridge City departures confirmed.

Taylor Parr and Mikey Davis are the players in question, with both having agreed to join fellow Pitching In Isthmian League North Division club Bury Town – as revealed by our sister title the Bury Free Press.

Captain Parr has spent the last two campaigns at the heart of the Lilywhites’ defence, having arrived from Royston Town following previous stints with Godmanchester Rovers and St Neots Town.

Bury Town boss Cole Skuse said: “We've brought in someone who has arguably been one of the most sought-after players in the area this summer, Taylor Parr.

"He's someone my phone's been inundated with people telling me to please speak to him and try and make sure you get him in as he'll be an unbelievable one for your group. He's had numerous clubs chasing him.

“We're very fortunate in the sense that he already knows a couple of the personnel at Bury already.

“We've given an insight into what we want to achieve and it aligns with what he wants out of it. So for him to be coming to join the club is a huge, huge coup for the football club.”

Left-sided Davis, meanwhile, is a former Grimsby Town scholar that has also spent the past couple of terms with City.

“A really, really talented player,” added Skuse. “He's really technical, very forward-thinking and a real natural left-sider.

“He's someone we spoke to last season. For whatever reason it didn't work out but we knew full well that he would be one we'd be trying to go after this summer. He's a really good signing.”

Last week it was also confirmed that striker Stan Leech had joined Newmarket Town.
