Macclesfield have signed Paul Bolland following the midfielder's release by League Two rivals Grimsby.

The 29-year-old, who left Blundell Park at the end of last season, has signed a one-year contract with the Silkmen.

"I am really pleased to have secured Paul for the coming season," Macclesfield manager Keith Alexander told his club's official website.

"He brings us a wealth of experience which is something that I think we lacked at times last year."
