Matlock Town are delighted to announce the loan signing of defender Max Asante-Boakye from Sheffield United.
The commanding centre-back joins the Gladiators on loan from the Blades, adding further strength and quality to the Matlock Town defensive ranks ahead of the new season.
Max joined Sheffield United on a professional contract after leaving Aston Villa, having impressed during a trial period with the club at the end of the previous season. During that time, he featured for both the Blades’ Under-21 and Under-18 sides before earning a professional deal ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
The 2025/26 season also saw Max gain valuable experience in senior football, spending time on loan with Bromsgrove Sporting.
A strong and composed defender, Max now arrives at the Proctor Cars Stadium looking to continue his development and gain further valuable experience with the Gladiators.
Everyone at Matlock Town would like to welcome Max to the club and wish him every success during his time with the Gladiators.
