Macclesfield FC have officially signed former Liverpool forward Max Woltman after a successful trial period with the club. Woltman, who showed significant potential as a quick striker in Liverpool's academy, made two appearances for the Liverpool first team but did not establish himself permanently in the senior squad. He moved to Oxford United in 2023, where he made three appearances before leaving at the end of his contract this summer.

Following his departure from Oxford United, Woltman impressed Macclesfield’s management during training sessions, leading to the club securing his signature. Macclesfield’s manager, John Rooney, younger brother of Wayne Rooney, expressed his satisfaction with the signing, highlighting that Woltman was highly regarded at Liverpool and has demonstrated considerable ability and promise during his trial period.

Macclesfield FC, competing in the National League North—the sixth tier of English football—hope Woltman’s pace and talent will strengthen their attacking options. This signing represents an opportunity for Woltman to reignite his career and gain regular playing time at the senior level after his limited involvement in higher leagues.

The move has garnered attention due to Woltman’s background at a top Premier League club’s academy, and the club and fans are optimistic about his potential impact on and off the pitch.
