Striker dies in road tragedy on way back from game
Macclesfield Express
|December 24, 2025
MACCLESFIELD FC forward Ethan McLeod has tragically died in a car accident while travelling back from a game.
The 21-year-old was driving on the M1 motorway while returning from his team's National League North clash with Bedford Town on Tuesday, for which he had been a substitute.
At around 10.40pm, McLeod's white Mercedes collided with a barrier and the Wolverhampton Wanderers academy product was sadly declared dead at the scene.
Confirming the tragic news, Macclesfield paid tribute to the “incredibly talented” forward, who previously represented Alvechurch, Rushall and Stourbridge, saying he “had his whole life ahead of him”.
In a statement, the club said: “With the heaviest of hearts and an overwhelming sense of surrealism that Macclesfield FC can confirm the passing of 21-year-old forward Ethan McLeod.
“Travelling back from Bedford Town last night, Ethan was involved in a car accident on the M1 which tragically took his life.
