Hussey, 27 (pictured) and Duffy, 30 have become Chris Wilder's first new signings with the latter signing a pre-contract following his release from Birmingham and will join on 1 July, he had spent last season on loan at Burton Albion. Meanwhile Hussey will also join on 1 July when the transfer market opens for an undisclosed fee, he turned out 50 times for the Shakers in all competitions last season.
Wilder told sufc.co.uk "He comes here for all the right reasons, he has come here because after listening to us he believes in what we are trying to do, Mark could have moved elsewhere for a significantly better contract. Mark scored and created a good number of goals for Burton, he deservedly was named in the divisional team of the year and is a player we believe can make an impact immediately and also make the step up to the division above."
Rumours around the net are that striker James Hanson (Bradford City) and Kyle McFadzean (MK Dons) could be next on Wilder's hit list as he looks to create a promotion winning side.
