An opticians in Macclesfield has pledged £7,200 to support Macclesfield FC, following the club's title-winning first season. 

The new season deal will see Specsavers, on Mill Street Mall in The Grosvenor Shopping Centre, sponsoring three top players.

They will back the team's new forward, 22-year-old Neil Kengni and 24-year-old right-back Jacob Hanson. The latter played a big part in last season's trophy-winning campaign.
