Chesterfield boss Martin Allen plans to involve Bennett in his matchday squad this weekend.

“Today we have signed Jake Bennett from Sheffield United on loan until the end of the season,” he said.

“He’s a solid, reliable right-back and he’ll go straight into the squad for our game at Halifax on Saturday.”
