It's likely to be another summer of change at the Proact, with 13 players coming to the end of their current contracts.
Here's a look at who will be a free agent at the end of the season and who still has time to run on their deal.
Chesterfield have 28 players on contract at the Proact
Shwan Jalal (2020) - The 35-year-old signed a two-year deal last summer, having departed National League champions Macclesfield. He's kept eight clean sheets in his 13 appearances for Town.
Joe Anyon (2019) - The goalkeeper signed a two-year contract in 2017 but has made just 20 appearances since then. He hasn't played a single competitive fixture this season and was transfer listed by Martin Allen.
Brad Barry (2019) - the right-back was one of the first players signed by Gary Caldwell and Guy Branston in the summer of 2017. He's made 50 Town appearances and spent last Autumn on loan at Dover.
Drew Talbot (2019) - Technically a three-time Spireite, Talbot was released at the end of last season, then re-signed by Martin Allen on a one-year deal. He may not play again this season after a series of operations on his knee.
Ify Ofoegbu (2019) - The teenager, who made his first team debut in October 2016, played his first league games for the club in December. His deal, which was signed in October last year, runs out this summer.
Jerome Binnom-Williams (2019) - ankle surgery derailed the left back not long after he penned a two-year deal in the summer of 2017. Since Town's relegation to the National League, he's played 26 league games.
Sam Muggleton (2019) - the left sided player with the ridiculously long throw inked a one-year deal last summer and the club have an option for a second year. He's currently out on loan at Darlington in the National League North.
George Smith (2019) - The left-back was bought from Northampton last January and given an 18-month deal. This season he played just twice before joining Dover on loan. He's back at the Proact but hasn't played for Sheridan yet.
Michael Nelson (2019) - The 38-year-old centre-half, described as 'very old' by Martin Allen in a press release, has played once since September. He lasted nine minutes on Boxing Day, was substituted and hasn't played since.
Laurence Maguire (2021) - the home grown centre-half recently signed a contract extension that will keep him at the club for a further two years. He's coming back from injury and should add to his 21 appearances this season.
Will Evans (2020) - Roy of the Rovers himself, Evans has had an action packed time of it lately. He's scored goals, saved a penalty and cemented a place in the defence. He signed a two-year deal last summer.
Jamie Sharman (2020) - another academy product, who made his first team breakthrough this season, Sharman signed an 18-month deal and the club have an option for a further year.
Robbie Weir (2019) - the midfielder signed late summer 2017 and signed a one-year deal, but made enough appearances last season to trigger a second year. Looked set to leave last summer, but stayed. Back in the side now.
