Chesterfield midfielder hopes departed Spireite Charlie Carter shows Stevenage how good he really is
The Northern Irishman said goodbye to the 22-year-old this week, when he was sold to the League Two club for an undisclosed fee.

"At the start of last season, whenever he was fit, he was on flames.
"When he came back from injury, he didn't perform quite as he did at the start of the season.
"But if a Football League club comes and wants you, and they're going to pay a bit of money for you, it's one those you can't turn down.
"It's back down London, closer to home for him."
