Macclesfield striker Ben Wright is desperate to score his first goal for the club.

The 29-year-old forward, who arrived at Moss Rose from Lincoln in the summer, has yet to find the net for Keith Alexander's men and saw a late effort strike the woodwork in last weekend's 2-2 draw with Bradford.

Ahead of Saturday's FA Cup tie against MK Dons, Wright told the club's official website: "Strikers are judged by the number of goals they score so it's frustrating that I've still to find the back of the net.

"Hopefully I can keep my place in the side or get to play some part this weekend. And if I can, I'll be looking for that first goal.

"I've a certain role to fill in the side, namely to be an outlet for the ball forward. I am there to win headers and hold the ball up when I can, almost a foil for others to feed off.

"It often means I'm not getting into as many goalscoring positions as I would like. But I've scored goals consistently throughout my career and hopefully as and when the first comes, it will be the first of several."
