Former Sheffield Wednesday defender becomes Halifax's first signing of the summer
FC Halifax Town have announced defender Mackenzie Maltby as their first signing of the summer.
Maltby, 21, is a centre-back who made his senior debut for Sheffield Wednesday in their 4-1 defeat to Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium in April.
That was his second of two appearances for The Owls, with the other coming as a substitute in the 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion on the final day of the season.
Maltby was previously under 18s captain at Wednesday, and signed his first professional contract in July 2023.
He had a loan spell at Scarborough in the 2024-25 season, and was named as the club’s young player of the season.
Maltby’s arrival will bolster Town’s defensive options after the recent departures of centre-backs Will Smith, Adam Adetoro and Jevon Mills.
