New international honour for young Spireites stopper James Sissons
Goalkeeper completes full game for Malta’s senior team
Young Chesterfield goalkeeper James Sissons has completed his full senior debut for Malta.
He played the full match of their 1-1 draw in an international friendly against Eswatini at the National Stadium.
Sissons (19) has played age group games for his country and made his first senior appearance in the summer.
He made his senior debut for Chesterfield in the EFL Trophy earlier this season. He was the club’s Academy Player of the Year last season.
His senior goalkeeping clubmate, Zach Hemming, said: “James has trained really well and is always there supporting us every day, doing the warm-ups and other things, and now he has got his chance at Malta. He’s a good addition to the team as well.”
