CHORLEY FC are delighted to announce the signing of promising young forward Max Thompson, who joins the Magpies on a short-term contract.
A graduate of several elite academies, Max brings athleticism and attacking flair to Victory Park.
Born in Macclesfield on 9 February 2002, he progressed through Manchester United’s youth system from the age of nine, before spells at Everton and Burnley. He made his Premier League debut for Burnley during the 2019–20 season and went on to join Sunderland in 2022 for an undisclosed fee.
More recently, he spent spells at Slovak side MFK Skalica and Scottish Championship club Queen’s Park.
Manager Andy Preece had this to say about the new signing:
“Max has that raw, energetic presence up front; exciting, hungry, and fearless in the box. His experience across a range of leagues adds depth to our attacking line-up and his youth is the perfect complement to our more seasoned players.”
We’ll soon be introducing Max to the Magpies faithful and can’t wait to see him don our famous black-and-white stripes!
