The club can confirm that defender Ash Palmer will depart the SMH Group Stadium upon the expiry of his contract after agreeing to join York City.
Palmer joined Chesterfield in November 2022, joining from Stockport County.
He quickly became an important part of the defence as the Spireites made the National League play-off final.
The centre-back played 29 times in the National League in the 2023/24 season as Paul Cook’s men sealed promotion to the Football League.
A serious knee injury kept Palmer out for the majority of this campaign, however, his stellar performances in the last third of the season helped the Blues to the League Two play-offs.
Overall, the 32-year-old made 74 appearances and scored seven goals on his two-and-a-half year stint in North Derbyshire.
The club would like to thank Ash for his fantastic efforts and wish him the best in the future.
