Martyn Forrest made steady progress at Bury in 2000-01 when he was much more involved at first-team level than he had been in 1999- 2000. He enjoyed a sustained run in the team during the second half of the campaign and impressed with his commitment and undoubted skill on the ball.
He also showed his leadership skills when captaining the Shakers' reserve team and skippering the first team when Nick Daws was unavailable.
Martyn was a highly-rated midfield player who signed a new contact in the 2002 close season that kept him at Gigg Lane until June 2004 but was made available for transfer in May 2003.
