Max McAuley Power (born 27 July 1993) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Wigan Athletic.
He began his career at Tranmere Rovers, making 127 appearances and scoring 19 goals in all competitions across four seasons.
Born in Birkenhead, Wirral, Power joined local Tranmere Rovers' youth set-up at the age of eight and captained the club at every age group including the first team. He chose to join the team instead of signing for Liverpool. After impressing in the Tranmere Rovers Reserve team he was awarded a professional contract in May 2011. Manager Les Parry was confident Power had a bright future in the game, but warned the youngster about his aggression. He compared him to Joss Labadie, another young and talented Rovers midfielder with a reputation as a hothead.
Power made his first team debut in the Football League Trophy clash with Port Vale on 30 August 2011; he replaced Andy Robinson on 66 minutes before he went on to score a penalty in the penalty shootout victory. On 10 September he made his League One debut, starting in a 0–2 defeat away to Huddersfield Town and making way for Labadie after 77 minutes. He ended his first season with four league appearances and two in the Football League Trophy.
Power scored his first goal for the club on 13 November 2012, concluding a 3–0 win against Braintree Town in the FA Cup first round after coming on for James Wallace. He scored his first league goal for the club on 26 December, as they came from behind to win 2–1 against Crewe Alexandra at Prenton Park. On 23 February 2013, he scored his second league goal in a 5–1 win away to Colchester United. On 4 March, he extended his contract, keeping him at the club until June 2015. Five days later, he scored his last goal of the season, the only one to win a home match against Oldham Athletic.
