Macclesfield FC forward Ethan McLeod, aged 21, has died in a car accident on the M1. The incident occurred on Tuesday night while McLeod was returning from a National League North match against Bedford Town.
McLeod joined Macclesfield in the summer following a trial, after spending a decade in the Wolves academy. He made his Macclesfield debut in September against Chorley and scored two goals in four appearances.
Macclesfield FC expressed their sorrow, stating the news comes with the heaviest of hearts and that his vibrant legacy will never fade. The club pledged to support those affected by his passing.
Wolves also paid tribute to McLeod on X and will hold a minute's silence at Saturday’s Premier League match against Brentford.
