Doughty, 21, has not made a senior appearance for Blackpool for three years following injury problems but has had loan spells at Barrow and Leigh.

Manager Simon Grayson told Blackpool's official website: "It will do Phil the world of good.

"Hopefully he will get some first-team football under his belt."

Doughty has been given permission to play for Macclesfield in their FA Cup first-round tie against Rushden and Diamonds on Saturday.
