Macclesfield Town: Rhys Taylor returns to Conference Premier club

Macclesfield Town have agreed a deal to re-sign goalkeeper Rhys Taylor.

The 23-year-old joined the Silkmen in January, having been on non-contract terms with Preston North End, and went on to make 18 league appearances.

Taylor, a former Wales Under-21 international, began his career at Chelsea but never featured in a senior game at Stamford Bridge.

"He has got a lot of ability and a good pedigree after coming through at Chelsea," said manager John Askey.

"We know from seeing him last season that he is a very good goalkeeper for this level and capable of playing higher," he told the club website.

Meanwhile, teenager Josh Green, who captain Macclesfield's youth team last season, has been awarded his first professional contract.
