Chesterfield have recalled a young striker from his third loan spell of the season.

Ricky German has been out on loan with Evo-Stik Northern Premier League outfit Matlock Town.

But the Gladiators confirmed this week that the teenager has returned to the Proact.

Joint boss Glenn Kirkwood said: “Ricky did really well for us, he’s a good lad who will do well in the future.”

German scored the winner in Matlock’s 2-1 win at Lancaster City on 2nd December and hit the net last month in a 3-3 draw at Witton Albion.

He has spent time with Alfreton Town in the National League North and Sheffield FC in the Evo-Stik Division One South already this season, scoring goals for both sides.
