The 19-year-old, who came through the Spireites academy, is out of contract and has not been offered a new deal.

Posting on Twitter he said: “So, it's goodbye to Chesterfield Football Club after 10 years with the club from academy under 11s to First team! Good luck to CFC for the future and a thanks to everyone that’s helped me along the way. Looking forward for what’s next.”
