Nantwich Town chairman Tony Davison said: “We are sorry to see Matty leave but he made it clear to me at the end of last season that he wanted to play at a higher level.

“Matty clearly impressed FC Halifax in our two-legged FA Trophy semi-final tie and they came calling in recent days.

“I have been delighted with his contribution to Nantwich Town over the past two years.

“This is in part down to the excellent work done by Phil Parkinson and his team, and we have developed great young players like Matty, Jon Moran and Elliot Osbourne who have all now stepped up to a higher level.

“We wish Matty well for the future at FC Halifax Town.”
