FORMER Everton ace Oumar Niasse has joined non-league side Macclesfield on a short-term deal.
Niasse has had several spells across English football throughout his 15-year career and will now be playing in the Northern Premier League.
The Silkmen confirmed the striker’s arrival at the Leasing.com Stadium by announcing he has signed a short deal subject to league approval.
The ex-Senegal international’s free transfer has been met by mixed reaction with some fans shocked by how the former Premier League player ended up in the seventh tier.
One fan tweeted: “As if! Remember him.”
Another commented: “The saviour has returned.”

A third posted: “Good luck Oumar, smash it lad.”
Niasse will be joining Newcastle hero and former Senegal team-mate Papiss Cisse at Macclesfield.
Cisse started training with Alex Bruce’s side earlier this month after leaving Amiens last year.
Niasse moved to England initially in 2016 to join Everton but failed to stand out and was sent out on loan to Hull as well as Cardiff.
The 33-year-old left the Toffees four years later and went on to compete for the likes of Huddersfield, Burton and Morecambe.
