The Silkmen received a big boost on the eve of their FA Cup clash with Everton with the news that a deal had been agreed with Wrexham to extend the loan deal of Nat Brown for the remainder of the season.

"Keith was extremely keen to secure Nat's services and we've made it one of our first priorities of the Transfer Window," explained Chief Executive Patrick Nelson. "We've agreed terms with Wrexham this afternoon and Nat is due to sign papers in the next couple of days which is great news."

Nat joined the Silkmen in November and made his debut against Harlow Town in the FA Cup 1st Round and has gone onto to make eleven appearances, scoring four goals in the process.
