No extension to defender's Macclesfield loan
Macclesfield have opted not to extend Clayton McDonald's loan spell from Manchester City.
The defender, who made two appearances during his one-month stint at Moss Rose, has now returned to Eastlands.
Macc boss Keith Alexander was unable to guarantee McDonald a place in his starting XI and it was mutually agreed that it would be better for him to return to the Premier League club.
Option
Alexander told the club's
official website: "We had an option to extend the deal, but having sat down with Clayton on Friday we both decided it would be best for both parties if he returned to City.
"With JJ (James Jennings) and Flynny (Matthew Flynn) having done so well, coupled with the form of Shaun Brisley and Paul Morgan, I certainly wouldn't have been able to guarantee him first team football.
"He didn't come here to sit on the bench so we agreed to shake hands and he leaves with our best wishes."
