Dilan Markanday has become the first signing of the summer, agreeing to rejoin the Spireites on a three-year deal.
The winger enjoyed a loan spell at the SMH Group Stadium during the first half of the 2024/25 season.
Markanday netted seven times in 24 games in North Derbyshire before being recalled from his loan spell by Blackburn Rovers in January.
He then moved to League One side Leyton Orient for the remainder of the season and he scored three goals in 17 appearances.
The London-based side made it to the League One play-off final where they narrowly missed out after a 1-0 defeat to Charlton Athletic at Wembley Stadium.
Speaking on the move, Markanday said: “I’m over the moon, really happy. It just feels like coming back home.
“I’m just happy to get over the line and I just want to get back playing football again.
“I’m at my happiest when I’m playing football and there’s no better environment than this to really help me do that.”
