Alexander expecting Wilson to make an impact in League Two

Macclesfield Town have snapped up Kyle Wilson on a one-year contract from FC United of Manchester.

The striker had impressed in the non-league ranks this season and has secured a move back into the Football League.

Silkmen boss Keith Alexander is confident the former Crewe Alexandra youngster can make an impact in League Two next season.

"I've watched him play on several occasions and believe he has the ability to make the step up," Alexander told the club's official website.

"He'll have had a good grounding during his time with Crewe's highly successful youth set-up and will have benefited from his time last season with FC United, who are a very good club.

"More importantly he is desperate to show he can hold his own in the Football League. Every now and again you have to take a gamble on someone from the lower leagues.

"Scoring goals was our problem last season and in Kyle we have signed an exciting young talent with a proven eye for goal."
