National League side Chester have signed defender John McCombe on a one-year deal after he turned down a contract offer from Macclesfield Town.

The 32-year-old is the second player to move from the Silkmen to the Blues this summer following full-back Andy Halls.

He started his career at Huddersfield, and has also played for Hereford, Port Vale, Mansfield Town and York City.

"The manager phoned me and I was really impressed with what he was saying about the club," McCombe said.
