Rochdale
Bunney made his début as a professional at Rochdale on 27 April 2013 as a substitute in a 1–0 victory against Plymouth Argyle, on the final day of the 2012–13 season with Bunney scoring the winning goal with a header after a cross from another débutante, Scott Tanser.[3][4] On 1 July 2014, Bunney signed a new two-year contract at Rochdale.[5]
Northampton Town

On 31 January 2019, Bunney's loan at Blackpool was cut short and then loaned out to his former club Rochdale until the end of the season.[8]
He was one of 3 transfer-listed by Northampton at the end of the 2018–19 season; a further 8 were released.[9]
Bolton Wanderers
On 2 September 2019, Bunney signed for Bolton Wanderers on a free transfer from Northampton Town on a contract until the end of the season.[10] The following weekend he was involved in a road traffic collision on the M55 motorway that left him with broken ribs and a broken collarbone.[11][12]
