NEIL Danns became the third Bury player to leave the club on transfer deadline day.

The 34-year-old former Bolton Wanderers midfielder, who joined the Shakers last summer, has signed for League Two side Blackpool on loan until the end of the season.

He has made 21 appearances for Bury so far this season but has struggled to secure a place in the centre of midfield.

Fellow midfielder Tom Soares made a shock departure to League One rivals AFC Wimbledon for an undisclosed fee earlier in the day, while 17-year-old defender Jacob Bedeau completed his switch to Aston Villa for what a Bury statement described as "close to" a club-record £1million fee.
