Macclesfield FC can confirm that the Club have received a formal offer from Forest Green Rovers which meets the release clause in D’Mani Mellor’s contract. D’Mani has been an outstanding asset to Macclesfield Football Club both on and off the pitch. Since arriving, he has consistently demonstrated the professionalism, work ethic and character that we expect from players representing this Club. His contribution in terms of goals and creativity on the pitch and character in the dressing room has been significant. He has also built a strong connections with our supporters and the wider Macclesfield community, for which we are incredibly grateful. While no deal has yet been finalised, the activation of the release clause means discussions are now taking place between D’Mani and Forest Green regarding the next steps. Should the transfer go ahead, D’Mani will leave with our sincere thanks and best wishes. From a football perspective, we are always planning for all scenarios. Our recruitment team have been working tirelessly to identify players capable of strengthening the squad. Our priority is to ensure that John Rooney and his coaching staff have all the resources required to maintain our momentum and continue pushing strongly for the play-off positions this season. We have always been a Club that develops players and provides a platform for them to progress in the game and that is something we will never stand in the way of. Further updates will be provided to supporters in due course. Jonathan Bull Sporting Director Macclesfield FC
