Southport FC have completed the signing of defender Zac Corbett on a free transfer.

22-year-old Zac, most recently of FC United of Manchester, has signed a one-year deal at the Merseyrail Community Stadium.

Zac made 30 appearances for FC United of Manchester, and also spent time at Rhyl, Colwyn Bay and Witton Albion. As a youngster Zac played for Crewe Alexandra and Stoke City.

Manager Liam Watson said: “I saw Zac last season playing for FCUM against Southport, we’ve had another couple of looks at him since then. He fits the criteria, he’s a strong, powerful lad.”

Watson added: “He can play left sided centre-half or left back.

“It’s a great opportunity for him and he’s the type that’ll grab it with both hands. He’ll have a big part to play.”

On joining Southport FC Zac said, “I’m really happy to have joined the club and can’t wait to get started.

“It’s all about the promotion that everybody wants, and we’ll do everything we can to get there.”
