Wijnhard heads for Macclesfield

Manager David Hodgson has reiterated that Wijnhard has played his last game for Darlington.

But, to allow the player to join another club, Hodgson has retained the 31-year-old's registration details.

After a serious repeated breach of club rules, Wijnhard was last week given 14 days to appeal against the termination of his Quakers contract.

But, with the transfer window closed until January, under FIFA regulations, a player whose contract has been terminated cannot join another club in that time.

In a similar case, Adam Proudlock was yesterday cleared to join Ipswich Town on loan from Sheffield Wednesday.

Proudlock was originally sacked by Wednesday, but after disciplinary action was suspended the player has been allowed to play out his contract at Portman Road.

Macclesfield are now expected to hold further talks with Wijnhard today.

"Clyde has left the club, but technically he is still our player," explained Hodgson.

"We hold his registration details, which would therefore allow him to join another club on loan.

"I spoke to him today and everything is fine.

"Macclesfield have approached us to take him on loan and now it is up to Clyde."

Mansfield Town and Blackpool have also been linked with a move for the former Leeds striker, who was Quakers' leading scorer last season with 15 goals.

Hodgson has taken African winger Mohamed Saido on trial from Belgian side, Genk.

With Carlos Logan struggling to be fit for Saturday's trip to Bury, Hodgson's left-sided options are limited. Saido, 22, who plays on the left, will train with Quakers this week.

New signing Phil Stamp could feature for the first time at Gigg Lane, with Jonjo Dickman (stomach) and Anthony Peacock (struggling).

"We have a couple of doubts to contend with and Stampy will come into contention," said Hodgson.

"He still has some work to do, but he should be there or thereabouts."
