ROB Matthews, an instant hit after his £100,000 move from York, will make his home debut for Bury against Northampton tomorrow.

The university graduate came off the subs' bench to score the Shakers' equaliser in last week's 1-1 draw at Chester, 48 hours after completing his cross-Pennine transfer.

The goal and the performance has earned him a place in the starting line-up as Stan Ternent aims for his team to edge nearer the Second Division promotion frame.

David Johnson is the player likely to make way but the Gigg Lane boss was keeping his selection details under wraps today.

The goalkeeping position presents another selection dilemma. Regular No 1 Gary Kelly is available again after being unavailable because of a family illness last weekend when understudy Lee Bracey turned in an outstanding performance.
