Championship player on Chesterfield's radar as club closes in on striker
A loan deal with a Championship player remains a possibility for Chesterfield as the countdown continues to the new season.
The club took a look at him in Friday’s friendly in Ireland against Bohemians as well as giving another run-out to former Rotherham United and Barnsley man Josh Benson.
Assistant manager Danny Webb said: “The new trialist is a lad from a Championship side wanting to go out on loan somewhere. We’re looking at him, he’s looking at us, so we’ll wait and see on that one.”
Chesterfield have made eight summer signings so far and are heavily tipped to make Fraser Bryden their ninth.
The 22-year-old striker scored 23 goals for Crusaders in the Northern Ireland Football League Premiership last season.
Should a deal go through, he would link up with frontman Lee Bonis, who also excelled in Ireland, with Larne, before arriving via Dutch side ADO Den Haag last summer.
