Summer signing Markell is a commanding centre back, who spent most of 2024-25 in the North West Counties League Premier Division as captain of Stockport Town.
Forty two appearances for the Lions brought the former Burnley junior and Salford
City youth player four goals and seven man-of-the-match awards.
In March 2025, Markell signed for Leek Town, stepping up two levels to the NPL Premier - having already played in the West Division for Clitheroe and 1874
Northwich.
