FORMER Southend Unites loanee Marcus Dackers has joined Altrincham on loan from Salford City.

Dackers scored three goals in six games for Blues during the 2022/23 season but was unable to extend his loan spell due to the club's transfer embargo.

That embargo also stopped the Shrimpers bringing the 20-year-old back to Roots Hall this season and he will now be with Altrincham until the New Year.

Altrincham are currently seventh in the National League standings and are at home to Solihull Moors this weekend.

Blues have been in a transfer embargo since September 2022 due to money owed to HMRC.
