Mike Jones has said he is desperate to be involved in another promotion as he enters his 18th year as a professional footballer.
He expressed his hunger to experience that “promotion feeling” at least one more time – no matter what role he plays in it.
He said: “Honestly, there is no better feeling in football than getting promoted.
“It’s a feeling I can’t describe to anyone; I can’t even begin to express how hungry I am to feel it again.
“You don’t get that many chances in football to be part of a promotion-winning side, and it’s something I want one more time, at least.
“My time at this club has been absolutely fantastic, and I’m desperate to get another promotion with this club.
“I don’t mind what my role is within that, I just want to be part of it and help in any way I can to see this club climb the leagues.
“I love it here; to gain another promotion as part of this side would be something special, and it’s something I have a real desire to do.”
The midfielder expressed how much quality is inside the Spireites’ dressing room.
“The quality of lads we have at the club now is mind-blowing, really,” he said.
“It’s arguably the best changing room and team I’ve ever been involved with. Over the years, I’ve played with some frightening talents, but currently at this club, we just have bags of ability all over the pitch.
“For me, the best part about this team is how much we’re all together.
“It’s so easy to have a bad egg inside a football changing room, but we truly don’t have that here at all.
“Everyone gets on, everyone talks to each other, and we all want the same thing: success.”
Finally, he touched on his role within the side and how much he is enjoying working under the gaffer, Paul Cook.
He said: “For me, I feel very valued and appreciated by the gaffer.
“He’s been brilliant with me from day one. This season, competition for places is high, and I’m working hard to play my part wherever and whenever required.
“For me, I want to provide my experience to the younger lads too; I feel I have a lot to give in many ways.
“I love it here, and I hope we can achieve something this season.
“We have a great squad, and everyone is working hard.”
