Scotland international midfielder joins Spireites

Scotland international midfielder John Fleck has joined the Spireites on a contract until the end of the season.

The 33-year-old, who was a free agent after leaving Blackburn Rovers at the end of last season, has been training with the squad at the Erwin Training Ground.

After agreeing a deal to join Chesterfield, Fleck said: “I’m delighted to be here. I’ve been training here for just over a week and the opportunity has come up to sign until the end of the season, so I’m really happy. 

“It’s been great to just get back in amongst the training group so I’m really looking forward to it.”

Fleck began his career with Scottish giants Rangers before heading south of the border to join Coventry City. After linking up with Sheffield United, he helped the Blades win promotion to the Premier League with two promotions in three years.

Capped five times by Scotland, Fleck joined Blackburn Rovers on a short-term deal in February after making four Premier League appearances last season. 

The deal is subject to FA and Football League approval.
