Macclesfield Town boss David Moss is planning to extend the loan stays of Blackburn Rovers midfielder Darren Dunning and Rochdale defender Steve Macauley.

The pair are due to play the final game of their first month's stay at Moss Rose against Shrewsbury Town on Saturday.

But Moss hopes to have the pair signed up for another month before the weekend to keep further loans free as he battles to keep the Silkmen clear of the drop-zone.
