Bury boss Chris Casper has signed former Preston defender Richie Baker on a one-year deal. The teenager was released by North End but impressed Bury boss Chris Casper during a trial spell in April when he played for the Shakers' reserves.
Casper told the club's website: "He's a good player that will push through the squad and make a career for himself.
"He's what you want to get in and give a chance. He is the rough diamond that every manager looks for."
