KIRK BECOMES A PERMANENT LILYWHITE
RHYL have signed winger Tyrone Kirk on a permanent basis from Football League Two club Macclesfield Town.
Kirk, 23, joined the Lilywhites on loan from the Moss Rose outfit in August and has made 11 Welsh Premier appearances to date for the champions, his speedy wing play making him a big hit with the Belle Vue faithful.
"Both clubs have now agreed on a permanent deal which is great news for Rhyl FC," said Lilies managing director Dave Milner.
Kirk is a former Manchester City and Scunthorpe trainee who was a national award winner in the Nike Freestyle Soccer tournament in 2003.
Following a spell with Boston United he spent 2008/09 with Unibond Division One club Stamford FC where he was named player of the year.
After attracting the attention of Sheffield United he joined Macclesfield, making his debut in a Carling Cup tie against Leicester City, but he was allowed to leave the Silkmen for Rhyl in August 2009.
With the signing of goalkeeper Jack Cudworth from Technogroup Welshpool already in the bag, Rhyl hope to bring in a midfielder and striker over the weekend although one current squad member may be on his way.

Rhyl Football in the Community aim through a wide range of initiatives, to encourage people, particularly children, to participate in football and other sports.
Hopefully the phrase "squad player" is significantin describing a player on his way out.
Hindsight is a brilliant thing ...but...given Hunt's traditional suspensions, given the problems Matty had last year with injury..and given that the club were even then trying to offload Neil Roberts...wouldn't it have been easier to make Carl Owen a proper offer then than trawl around for a striker now ?
