Tom Whelan has spoken of his delight after rejoining the Spireites from Eastleigh for an undisclosed fee.
After completing his return to the club, the 25-year-old midfielder said: “I was desperate to come back.
“I know the place and I know the lads so I’m really happy to get back. I enjoyed my time here and I didn’t really want to leave.”
Whelan was a popular figure during his first spell at the club, scoring five goals in 27 appearances before leaving last summer.
Assistant-manager Danny Webb said: “He’s a very, very good player who will be a great addition. He’s got great technical ability and it’s great to have him back.”
