A transfer for Max McMillan is being considered by York City, according to manager Adam Hinshelwood, after McMillan left Wigan Athletic.
As they consider an offer, the National League team has been observing the attacker while he is on trial.
The 21-year-old McMillan was let go by Wigan Athletic this summer, and at the end of the previous month, he was formally declared a free agent, giving him time to plan his future move in the league. According to a Press story, Hinselwood has given an update on his circumstances, saying, “We’ll see if there is scope to bring another player in, he’s a player I really like.”
He’s sharp and some of his movement was good today, he didn’t quite get that end ball or he’d make a good run in behind and it wasn’t quite hit into that space. “I really like what I’m seeing from him, and we’ll be having discussions very soon.“ Wigan Athletic signed McMillan 12 months ago and he has since been a regular for their development team. He only penned a one-year deal with the League One outfit and didn’t play for their first-team. Shaun Maloney’s side then made the decision to part ways with him at the end of the last campaign. The York-born man joined Leeds United’s academy at the age of eight and rose up through their academy ranks.
He was a regular for the Whites at various different youth levels before heading out the exit door in 2021. Fleetwood Town subsequently snapped him up and he spent two years with the Cod Army, some of which he spent out on loan in non-league at Radcliffe to get some experience under his belt. McMillan played twice for the senior at Highbury Stadium as well before departing last year when his deal ran out. A move to York City after his Wigan Athletic exit would make sense for McMillan. He would be going back home and joining a team where he would be able to get some regular game time under his belt in the fifth tier.
