Attacking midfielder Armando Dobra has signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract, outlining his desire to stay with the Spireites and aim for promotion to League One.
Upon signing the deal, Dobra said: “I’m really happy. It’s a good moment for me and my family to sign a new contract here. It’s a great club, great fan base, good staff.”
Since the club returned to the Football League, Dobra has scored 11 goals in all competitions, featuring in every game of the League Two campaign so far.
Manager Paul Cook added: “I’m delighted. I think for any club at any level, you don’t want to lose your best players, it doesn’t matter what level you’re playing at.
“Armando has been with us on the journey out of the National League into the Football League and we’re really hopeful that the journey’s going to progress and carry on, and we want Armando to be very much part of that.”
After working hard to get the deal over the line, executive director Ashley Kirk said: “We have been working on the deal for probably six months and I’d like to thank Armando and his agents – they’ve been great.
“Nothing in football is simple and he wanted to see that we were matching his ambition. I believe that we are and I think that him signing shows that he sees that.”
The deal is subject to approval from the FA/Football League.
