Everton youngster Hallam Hope returns to Bury on loan

Everton youngster Hallam Hope has returned to Bury on loan until January 3.

The 20-year-old striker scored five goals in eight games for the Shakers last season during a temporary spell at the JD Stadium.

Hope was loaned out to Sheffield Wednesday at the start of the current campaign, but he failed to find the net in the four games that he played.

The forward is eligible to feature for Bury tonight when they host Tranmere Rovers in the quarter-finals of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
