PROLIFIC striker Kyle Wilson has rejoined FC United on an initial one-month loan deal.
Wilson scored 24 goals in 32 appearances for the Rebels last season before moving back in to league football with Macclesfield over the summer.
But the 24-year-old has had limited first-team opportunities Moss Rose, and FC boss Karl Marginson was only too happy to bring him back to Gigg Lane.
“I’m delighted because Kyle is a quality player,” said Marginson.
“It’s selfish of me to say that because he’s got the talent to play in the league and I wish it had worked out for him at Macclesfield.
“But hopefully he can do well for us here and then move up again.”
The deal, which could be extended until the end of the season, was struck quickly and Wilson could be in line to make his second debut for the club against Frickley on Wednesday night.
“I’ve been monitoring the situation since day one and Kyle’s not been featuring as much as he’d like there,” said Marginson.
“I rang Keith Alexander up yesterday to ask about him, and he told me they’d be willing to let him go out on loan.
“It’s a boost for us, and Kyle is fully fit and looked sharp in training last night so he’s definitely in contention for the Frickley game.”
Meanwhile, full-back Simon Garner has left the club, and midfielder Tunji Moses has decided to take a break from football due to personal reasons.

FC United announce post season trip to St Pauli on Saturday 15 May 2010
FC United of Manchester will play member-owned St Pauli in May as part of the club’s centenary celebrations.
The German side have invited FC United to play against an All-Star St Pauli XI in Hamburg on Saturday, May 15.
“It’s the first time the two clubs will have met – despite having a number of parallels,” said FC Board member Alison Watt. “Like all German clubs, St Pauli is member-owned and has been dubbed by the media as a punk club, just like FC.
“Their fans are famous for creating an incredible atmosphere. In the 1980s, St Pauli realised the spread of fascist related football hooliganism within Europe and became the first club in Germany to prohibit any rightwing or nationalist demonstrations in their ground. Their fans now take a strong standpoint against fascism, racism, sexism, and homophobia and St Pauli, like FC United, have embodied this position in their constitution.
“Principles like these have led to St Pauli becoming a cult club worldwide. They appeal to many fans of other football clubs who share their philosophy, in the same way that FC United also encourages all those who share our vision to join us.
“Being asked to help mark St Pauli’s anniversary is a wonderful invitation and we’re extremely honoured that this friendly has been scheduled for the official date of their centenary. We’re looking forward to helping them celebrate such an important milestone.”
Further details of the game will be announced nearer the time but FC United fans are already looking forward to another pre-season friendly versus Cliftonville, Belfast, on Saturday 17 July.
Supporters planning to travel to this game should be aware that we have not yet received the formal signed agreement. We are assuming a level of good faith from St Pauli, as the club has included our planned game in today’s announcement of all its centenary arrangements.

DIRECTIONS: The easiest way to find the Arnott Stadium is to leave the A1(M) at J62 (signed Durham City). At the top of the slip road turn left. After about 1/2 mile bear left (signed Belmont + Dragonville). At the top of the slip road turn left. At the traffic lights turn left then take the 2nd left turning and the stadium is on your right.
