Macclesfield FC are delighted to announce the signing of defender Josef Yarney following his summer departure from Boreham Wood.

The 27-year-old becomes our second addition of the summer following the arrival of Isaac Buckley-Ricketts.

Yarney has had several successful spells playing in the National League system, notably with Oldham Athletic, where he was named Supporters Player of the Year in 2022/23.

The centre-half also has Football League experience, signing for Tranmere Rovers in Sky Bet League Two following his departure from the Latics.

In addition to boasting extensive knowledge of the National League system, Yarney has also played for Clubs overseas, with spells in India and Israel on his footballing CV.

Join us in wishing Josef a warm welcome to the Leasing.com Stadium.
