Fulham midfielder signs on loan

Young Fulham midfielder Matt Dibley-Dias has signed for the Spireites on a season-long loan deal, linking up with the squad immediately ahead of the opening pre-season friendly at Matlock this Saturday.

The 21-year-old spent time on loan with League One outfit Northampton Town last season, and has made consistent appearances for Fulham U21s in the Premier League 2 over the last few seasons as well as receiving a call-up for the New Zealand national team in 2023.

Upon joining the club, Dibley-Dias said: “It feels good. I’m happy we got it done quite early and I can get used to the team and crack on and have a good pre-season. I’m excited.

“I know quite a few of the boys that were here last season like Michael (Olakigbe), Devan (Tanton) and Harvey (Araujo). They’ve all had good things to say and just rave about the place.”
