On Tuesday 23 June, Bacon signed for Worksop Town, one of his former clubs. He made a goalscoring debut for the club, scoring the club's goal in the 4–1 Northern Premier League defeat at Kendal Town on 15 August 2009. In May 2013, both he and Mark Camm departed Rainworth Miners Welfare to join Shirebrook Town as player/assistants to the newly appointed manager Julian Watts. 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. However, Gee was last just over three months into the role before being sacked with Bacon and Camm appointed joint-manager in his place on contracts lasting until the end of the 2015-16 season.
