Upon leaving Dorking Wanderers in the summer of 2022, Darren Oldaker made the move to North Derbyshire to join Chesterfield. He became an important part of the side that reached the National League play-off final, won the National League title and reached the League Two play-offs. In his three seasons at the SMH Group Stadium, he scored ten goals in 115 appearances.
Following the end of the 2024/25 campaign, Oldaker left the Spireites. He subsequently joined fellow League Two club Swindon Town very soon after.
