Chesterfield defender makes autumn loan move
Chey Dunkley has left Chesterfield for Solihull Moors on a short-term loan deal.
The centre-half has been out of the first team picture and hasn’t played a league game since March.
His two appearances this season have come in the EFL Trophy against Port Vale and Manchester City U21s, against whom he scored.
He has joined the National League outfit until December.
Chesterfield chairman Ashley Kirk said: “We have got a recall option if we need it and Chey can go and play football and that’s good for him.”
Wolverhampton-born Dunkley (34) came to north Derbyshire after the expiry of his contract at Shrewsbury Town a couple of years ago.
He made 11 appearances in his first full season and last term he was in and out of the side before dropping out of contention.
Along with striker Will Grigg, his name wasn’t in the club’s 2026/27 squad list published earlier this month.
Manager Paul Cook has praised both for their attitude in recent times, saying: "The reality is that the two lads have conducted themselves magnificently well.”
Solihull need help after a slow start in the National League. They have won only one of their opening ten games and are second bottom of the table.
Dunkley counts Oxford United, Wigan and Sheffield Wednesday among his previous clubs.
His contract at Chesterfield is up next summer.
