Following the confirmation of the 2024/25 retained list, we take a look at the players departing the SMH Group Stadium at the expiry of their contracts…

The following campaign, he scored twice and bagged five assists across 29 games. His contributions helped the Spireites to the National League title and a return to the Football League.
In Chesterfield’s first year back in the EFL, Oldaker scored four times with all goals coming from free-kicks. The 26-year-old made 40 appearances as the club made the League Two play-offs.

The forward became the first signing of the summer for the Spireites last year, joining from Macclesfield. He spent time out on loan during the season at National League side Oldham Athletic.

In the summer of 2024, alongside Liam Jessop and Ashton Rinaldo, the youngster signed his first professional contract at the SMH Group Stadium.
