Beardsley in loan switch

Macclesfield defender Jason Beardsley has joined Blue Square North side Eastwood Town on a one-month loan deal.

The 21-year-old former Derby, Notts County and Tampa Bay full-back joined the Silkmen on a one-year contract in the summer following a successful trial period.

However, he has only featured once for Town so far this season, playing the full 90 minutes of the 4-2 home defeat by Crewe in the second round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy earlier this month.

Beardsley will be available for Eastwood's match with Hyde on Monday night.
