Attacking midfielder joins Silkmen on month's emergency loan

Macclesfield have signed attacking midfielder Richard Butcher on a month's emergency loan from League Two rivals Lincoln. Silkmen boss Keith Alexander has returned to his former club to sign the 29-year-old, who could make his debut in Tuesday's trip to Bury. Alexander was keen to bolster his squad following injuries to Hamza Bencherif and Ross Draper and believes Butcher can make an impact at Moss Rose. He said: "I know him as a player although it's been a few years since we were at the same club together.

Very experienced

"He's a very experienced midfielder with good attacking ability and he will be a good addition to the squad here. "I'm very happy to have been able to bring him in."
