Former Manchester City striker Shaun Goater is set to join Macclesfield Town.

The Daily Mail says Goater is set to start working with Macclesfield's age-group sides on a part-time basis.

The 48-year-old Bermudan is the latest big name to join the Sky Bet League Two side's coaching ranks after Sol Campbell was appointed as manager in October and former Manchester United player Andrew Cole joined as their forwards coach two weeks ago.

Macclesfield were seven points adrift at the bottom of the table, having won only 10 points from 19 games, when Campbell arrived but they have since claimed 17 points from 12 games and are now only two points from safety.
