The new partnership will give the opportunity for girls to train with and potentially play for Chesterfield Ladies.

Michael Noon, the Community Trust’s activities manager, said: “We have been in partnership with Chesterfield Ladies for 12 months and the new five-year agreement gives both parties the stability to make long-term plans to increase participation in women’s and girl’s football.

“We’re proud of our track record of delivering excellent after-school girls coaching and we will continue to give girls the opportunity to play competitive football.”

Chesterfield Ladies FC chairman Keith Jackson added: “The partnership has been a success over the last 12 months, with a significant number of players joining our club having started playing at Community Trust female football sessions.

“We’re delighted to have signed a five-year agreement to develop this link, which will see our players wearing Chesterfield FC shirts, which is really exciting for the girls.”
