Paul Cook addresses the future of Will Grigg at Chesterfield FC
Chesterfield manager Paul Cook has indicated that Will Grigg’s time at the club could be coming to an end.
The 35-year-old striker has not featured in any of the pre-season matches.
Last year he signed a contract extension taking him through to the summer of 2027.
“It is ongoing and the minute we have some news on that we will let everyone know,” said Cook, speaking ahead of tomorrow’s Carabao Cup opener away to Fleetwood Town.
"First and foremost I can’t speak highly enough of Will. He has been absolutely outstanding for us at this football club for three years.
"One thing I can guarantee is that there is no malice and there is nothing malicious going on.
"It is just a case of two people coming together and deciding that maybe it is the time for us to move on from each other.
"Let’s see what materialises from that.”
Grigg helped Chesterfield win promotion to the EFL in his first year, scoring 25 goals in all, and backed it up with 14 more in the first season in League Two.
Last term he suffered a hamstring injury and was restricted to 37 appearances, scoring four times.
