Telford was enjoying a strong run of games with Bury before the club suffered an unfortunate collapse and were forced to liquidate at the end of the season. The 25-year-old then made a move to Devon to link up with Plymouth Argyle, where he made just shy of 50 appearances, scoring five goals.

Telford said: “I am absolutely buzzing to be here and get the deal over the line. It has been a bit of a fast deal, to be honest, but I am buzzing to get in for the start of the season. I spoke to the manager, the assistant and the owners, and I am an ambitious player.
