Macclesfield Town have completed the signing of Matt Tipton, who begins his third spell with the club.

The striker has penned a one-year contract at Moss Rose after spending a couple of seasons in non-league football.

The 29-year-old is Macclesfield's all-time leading goalscorer, netting 55 times for the club.

Manager Keith Alexander told the club's official website that his side was short of a goalscorer.

"Every club needs a proven goalscorer on their books and we are no different in that respect," said Alexander.

"We've been very shot-shy in pre-season so far and it was clear we needed to bring in a striker who could help us address that.

"Matty has been training with us for a few weeks now and his attitude has been spot on.

"He's also done well in the games he has played, but having dropped down into non-league it is going to be a challenge for him to step up to the higher level."
