Chesterfield striker Scott Boden joins National League rivals Torquay United on loan

The 31-year-old has not featured for the Spireites since the FA Trophy win against Brackley Town on December 19.

He has made six starts for Town this season, scoring three goals.

Boden has found the net against Maidenhead United, Altrincham and Barnet this campaign.

The forward, who is in his second spell at the club, was one of the players reportedly furloughed by Chesterfield, according to the national press earlier this month.

It is believed he was set to go out on loan to National League North club in January before concerns over funding and whether that division would continue emerged.

The Blues currently have Akwasi Asante, Adi Yussuf, Marcus Dinanga, Nathan Tyson and Luke Rawson as striking options.

Torquay, managed by Gary Johnson, are top of the National League by four points.
