Love Island footballer pays tribute to Robbie Savage after allowing "chance of a lifetime"

Macclesfield striker Tom Clare has paid tribute to Robbie Savage after he left the club to temporarily go on Love Island.

Clare, 23, entered the villa as the first bombshell back in early January and ended up reaching the final in South Africa alongside partner Samie Elishi, 22. The duo returned home to England and immediately headed up to Macclesfield's home, the Leasing.com Stadium on Thursday while filming for ITV.

The Silkmen, who allowed Clare to depart for the Love Island Villa two months ago, welcomed him back to first-team training last week, with Elishi watching in the stands. Macclesfield are pushing for promotion back to the seventh tier of English football and are currently top of the Northern Premier League West Division season.
