Callum Evans: Macclesfield Town sign Barnsley defender on loan

Callum Evans was once a youngster at Manchester United

National League side Macclesfield Town have signed Callum Evans on loan from Barnsley until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old defender has made just two Championship appearances for his parent club in 2016-17.

The move is likely to help the Silkmen provide cover for captain Andy Halls, who suffered a hamstring injury in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat by Barrow.

Evans could make his debut in Saturday's match at home to Braintree Town.
