Macclesfield boss Keith Alexander admits new acquisition Kyle Wilson is "desperate" to showcase his talents at Moss Rose after joining the club on a one-year deal.

The 23-year-old striker has signed for the Silkmen from FC United, having notched 24 goals in 32 games last term.

Wilson, a graduate of Crewe`s youth system, was in fine form for FC United before he sustained a knee injury in January which ruled him out for the rest of the season.

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

"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.

"Now fully fit, he will be flying when he arrives for pre-season training and we will have a great chance to have a good look at him and see how he does."
