Macclesfield Town are delighted to confirm that former Manchester United and England striker Andy Cole has joined the club's coaching staff on a part-time basis.

The 47 year old enjoyed a glittering nineteen year career which saw him win eleven major honours - including five Premier League titles and the Champions League in 1999.

Andy remains the third highest scorer in Premier League history and amassed a staggering 289 goals over the course of his career.

As well as Manchester United, Andy also enjoyed spells with twelve other clubs which include Newcastle United, Manchester City and Portsmouth - where he played alongside Sol Campbell.

We would like to welcome Andy to Macclesfield Town and wish him every success during his time with us.
