Watford and Leeds were among the clubs who had offers turned down by Bury last season for the 18-year-old.

Shotton played twice for the Shakers in the Checkatrade Trophy last season, before breaking into the side and making four first-team appearances as they were promoted from League Two.

Bury were expelled by the English Football League last month after a takeover bid from C&N Sporting Risk collapsed.
