- Brisley backed by Alexander
Macclesfield Town youngster Shaun Brisley has been tipped for a big future in the game by Silkmen boss Keith Alexander.
The 17-year-old scored both goals in the 2-1 win over Accrington Stanley last weekend, having become a first-team regular for Town this month.
Alexander told the club's official website: "Shaun was magnificent, he's only a young kid, but he's got a big future in game.
"He's a centre-back and he's played left and right-back now and will play wherever you want him. I think he'll do very well in the game."
Brisley himself added: "I am enjoying the new role of right wing-back.
"I've always played centre-half, but while there's more running to be done on the flanks, there is more license to get forward and that's been something I have taken to."
