Silkmen Sign Bencherif

Macclesfield Town have brought former Nottigham Forest midfielder Hamza Bencherif to the club.

The player, who has also spent time on loan at Lincoln, where he was highly regarded, is a former Algerian U20 international.

With the ability to play in midfield and defence he will offer yet more options for Keith Alexander as we go in to the new season.

Although he never made a senior appearance for Forest, Hamza played 12 times during his spell with the Imps.
