SILKMEN SIGN UP RYAN JACKSON

Macclesfield have signed right-back Ryan Jackson on a free transfer from AFC Wimbledon.

The 21-year-old, who can also play on the right side of midfield, was released by the Dons but has now put pen to paper on a one-year deal with the Silkmen.

Jackson helped the Dons clinch promotion from the Blue Square Bet Premier in 2010/11 although he managed just 10 appearances last season, with brief loan spells at Fleetwood and Cambridge.

That experience of non-league football will prove crucial for Macclesfield as they look to secure a return to League Two at the first attempt.
