GOAL ace Chris Porter has handed Shakers a timely boost by making a speedy recovery from injury.

Porter's presence in the box was sorely missed in last week's 1-0 defeat at Southend after he picked up an injury in the Bank Holiday Monday win over Lincoln.

The 19-year-old returned to training on Tuesday and is expected to play a part in Saturday's clash with Huddersfield at Gigg Lane.
