Bury boss Alan Knill has praised in-form striker Glynn Hurst's patience in waiting for a starting place.

Hurst has scored four goals in the last three games to keep the fourth-placed Shakers in touch with League Two's automatic promotion places.

Knill told BBC Radio Manchester: "I have to say he's waited his turn.

"He's been frustrated but got over it and, when he's got on the pitch, he's always looked a threat - that's four in three games now."

He added: "I said to the four strikers I am lucky I've got four quality strikers that we can rotate and rest and, to be fair, when Glynn's on that sort of form it's difficult to leave him out.

"So I'm kind of rotating three others at the moment. Once you get him on the pitch you know what you're getting, you're getting a shift."
