FORMER England international Andy Gray has signed for Bury on a free transfer.

He has joined the Shakers from Falkirk on a one-year contract after helping them to last season's Scottish Cup final.

Gray's capture is a coup for boss Stan Ternent who made contact with the 33-year-old while Bury celebrated their championship win in Spain.

"I know the lad's capabilities because I worked with him at Crystal Palace," declared an obviously delighted manager. "Andy has a wealth of experience and will be a great asset as we learn the ropes in the First Division."

Gray signed yesterday morning after training with the team all week.

"The gaffer and myself go back a long way. I have total respect for him." declared Gray. "Stan Ternent is the reason I am in Bury."
