Bury's star striker Andy Bishop has pledged to remain at Gigg Lane next season, despite rumoured interest from a number of higher division clubs.

The 25-year-old has scored 45 goals in two seasons with the Shakers and has previously been linked with the likes of Burnley and Norwich City.

However, Bishop told the Bury Times: "I have a stock answer now. I say the same thing time and time again, but I don't let speculation bother me.

"It might have done in the past, but now I just think it is nothing to do with me.

"I'm happy here - the fans know that - and all I want to do is have a rest before coming back for pre-season.

"It's nice being linked with clubs, but I just get on with it. Everything else is down to the club."
