Joseph Elliott Bunney (born 26 September 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Warrington Rylands.
He has previously played for Lancaster City, Kendal Town, Stockport County, Northwich Victoria, Rochdale, Bolton Wanderers, Matlock Town, Hartlepool United, Grimsby Town and Altrincham.
Club career[]
Early career[]
Born in Gorton, Manchester, Bunney worked his way through Lancaster City's youth system[2] and broke into their first team during the 2011–12[3] season as the club competed in the Northern Premier League Division One North, whilst studying sports science at Myerscough College in Preston, Lancashire.[4]
Rochdale[]
Bunney made his début as a professional at Rochdale on 27 April 2013 as a substitute in a 1–0 victory against Plymouth Argyle, on the final day of the 2012–13 season with Bunney scoring the winning goal with a header after a cross from another débutante, Scott Tanser.[5][6] On 1 July 2014, Bunney signed a new two-year contract at Rochdale.[7]
Northampton Town[]
On 16 January 2018, Bunney signed for Northampton Town for an undisclosed fee.[8]
On 25 June 2018, Bunney signed for Blackpool on loan.[9]
On 31 January 2019, Bunney's loan at Blackpool was cut short and then loaned out to his former club Rochdale until the end of the season.[10]
He was one of 3 transfer-listed by Northampton at the end of the 2018–19 season; a further 8 were released.[11]
Bolton Wanderers[]
On 2 September 2019, Bunney signed for Bolton Wanderers on a free transfer from Northampton Town on a contract until the end of the season.[12] The following weekend he was involved in a road traffic collision on the M55 motorway that left him with broken ribs and a broken collarbone.[13][14] On 26 June it was announced Bunney would be one of 14 senior players released at the end of his contract on 30 June.[15]
Matlock and Hartlepool[]
On 19 October 2020, Bunney signed for Matlock Town.[16] A month later he signed for Hartlepool United on 30 November.[17] He left on 26 January 2021 as he wanted to return to playing in the English Football League.[18]
Grimsby Town[]
On 1 February 2021, Bunney joined League Two side Grimsby Town on a contract until the end of the 2020-21 season.[19] Bunney had already played for Matlock and Hartlepool in the 2020–2021 season, usually meaning he wouldn't be able to sign for a third team as players can only play for two teams in one season – however FIFA changed the rules for that season to allow players to play for three teams, to alleviate the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on football.[20]
On 18 March 2021, it was announced by manager Paul Hurst that Bunney had played his final game for the club after he was taken to hospital hours after a game against Carlisle United, and would effectively be leaving the club because of an unreported medical condition.[21]
Back to Non League[]
On 25 August 2021, Bunney signed a contract for National League side Altrincham.[22]
On 8 October 2021, it was announced Bunney had signed for Warrington Rylands.
