Pitching In NPL West Division leaders Macclesfield have announced that James Berry has signed a new deal until the end of the 2023/24 season.

The move will also see the forward become the highest-paid player in Silkmen history.

He became their club-record signing following his arrival from Altrincham last March, having initially impressed on loan.

This season, the prolific striker has scored 21 goals in 30 goals, helping the club establish a five-point lead at the top of the division.

On his new deal, Berry said: “That’s all I wanted, for people to understand me and give me that opportunity. All I wanted to do was play football.

“I came here, saw the fans and the lads and it was an amazing project that was going on. I just wanted to be a part of it.”
