[4] Given the number 10 shirt at Sincil Bank for the 2006–07 season, he made his first start in the opening fixture at Notts County but his injury jinx hit again as he first suffered a nasty facial cut, requiring nine stitches, following a clash with Jason Lee and then injured his ankle.
Upon his recovery to fitness, he found it hard to break into the Lincoln team which was riding high in the upper echelons of the league table and in September 2006 he was loaned out to Worksop Town where he spent three months.
[11] In May 2013, both he and Mark Camm departed Rainworth Miners Welfare[12] to join Shirebrook Town as player/assistants to the newly appointed manager Julian Watts.
[13] Following six games without a victory, Watts was sacked in October 2013 but Bacon and Camm agreed to continue their roles under the new manager Kevin Gee.
[15] However, Camm resigned from his role at the end of August 2014 and Julian Watts returned to take sole managerial charge of the club.
