The Club is delighted to announce the signing of right-back Macauley Southam-Hales from Fleetwood Town for an undisclosed fee. The 24 year old has signed a 2 year contract at Edgeley Park and will begin pre-season training with the squad later this week.
Macauley spent 12 years at Cardiff City where he joined as a Junior before moving to Barry Town United and joined Fleetwood Town in January 2019. He enjoyed a loan spell last season with Hartlepool United.
Manager Jim Gannon said:
“It is great to have Macauley join us at this stage just as we start the final preparations for the season ahead. He was a player we were monitoring for future recruitment but we are delighted that we have been a able to secure his services early for this coming season.”
“The right hand side of our team needed another addition to add to Sam Minihan at right back and Adam Thomas as the main wide right attacking midfielder. The recent injury to Sam highlighted the weakness in terms of depth and cover at right back and down the right hand-side in general.”
“Macauley will provide great quality in the attacking right back and right wing back roles. Given the demands in these positions we are very fortunate to have increased the options in our first team for this area”.
