The 24-year-old left-back joined the Spireites after leaving Bristol Rovers last summer and was a regular as Paul Cook's side reached the League Two play-offs. "I'm very happy to sign a new deal. I enjoyed my first year here at Chesterfield and I am looking forward to the season ahead," he said. "Hopefully I can contribute to achieving our goal for the year. It's a great group of lads and we are all ready for the season." Chesterfield begin their League Two campaign against Barrow on 2 August.

Motherwell's young keeper says patience has paid off as he grabs chance
Motherwell goalkeeper Matty Connelly says patience has paid off at Fir Park, and intends to grab his chance with both hands. The 22-year-old was heading back on loan to League Two newcomers East Kilbride on loan, but an injury to first-choice Motherwell shot-stopper Aston Oxborough suddenly opened up some possibilities. After Callum Ward sold a goal in the 2-2 draw at Clyde in Motherwell's Premier Sports Cup opener, Connelly was given the nodd for a 2-1 win over Peterhead on Tuesday and a 1-0 triumph at Stenhousemuir yesterday. Connelly, who wasn't really tested at Ochilview, said: 'I've been patiently waiting for my chance. I thought I did all right on my debut, and to get the chance to play again on Saturday, I could myself really lucky. 'I'm thankful to the gaffer for giving me the chance. 'I think it's a good base to make your debut, and when you're the team that's expected to win, it's just following that through. ''I was buzzing. It was a really calm game for me, no shots on goal, just kind of playing it out the back and stuff like that. 'The boys in front of me did brilliantly.'

The young shot-stopper said: 'We're in a good position to qualify from the group, but Tuesday's another challenge and we'll try to get another three points and top the group. 'That's our last game, so we want the win.' Connelly has been at East Kilbride on loan for the last couple of years and played a major role last season as they won the Lowland League and the pyramid play-off against Bonnyrigg Rose. And he said: 'East Kilbride have been brilliant, the coaches – Mick Kennedy, Si Ferry, Blair Munn, Zander Cowie the goalie coach – have all been brilliant with me. 'I went back there twice and enjoyed it the first time, and set out to get promoted, and thankfully they did that. 'I would go back out there if needed. The plan when I came back in this summer was to go back out on loan, then I got the chance here to play games. 'But I'll see what happens, I do what I'm told!'

East Kilbride's new signings making rapid exit explained, as boss seeks replacements
East Kilbride boss Mick Kennedy has revealed new signings Josh O'Connor and Mouhamed Niang left the club just three weeks after joining because he could not guarantee them a starting place this season. The striking duo signed late last month with former Airdrie and Hibs youngster O'Connor arriving from Crusaders and Niang from Dumbarton, having been their player of the year. However, a change of heart from both has seen Niang join League Two rivals Clyde and O'Connor join Elgin City, where he ironically played against and lost 4-1 to EK in Saturday's Premier Sports Cup clash. READ MORE: Albion Rovers boss knows what to expect from Cumbernauld Colts after club raided them for players this summer READ MORE: Scottie Scheffler ally insists he'll never be the same as Tiger Woods because he's missing one thing And Kennedy has explained their exits from the club, saying: 'When the boys came in, we had conversations quite early on and they were concerned about their ability to play once they were in amongst the group, and we were just honest with them. 'Niang, in particular, was looking for assurances that he was going to be guaranteed to play every week but I just explained to him that wasn't going to happen. I don't think anyone gets those assurances at East Kilbride. 'So he just asked that, if that was the case, could he move on? And I said: 'Yeah, of course.' 'Josh was slightly behind the group when he came in and, after conversations with his agent, there was just a bit of concern that he was going to take a bit of time to get up to speed and be in a position to play. There was a nervousness there that with his next move he had to be playing week in, week out, and we weren't convinced that would happen, especially early on. 'So they asked if they could pursue another option and we said 'of course'. Ultimately, I just want people to be happy playing football, whether that is at East Kilbride or somewhere else. There certainly was no-one forcing them out the club or asking them to leave. 'I think they've maybe come in and assessed the standard that is here, the boys just felt that they wanted to be guaranteed to play. 'With the window still open, we felt it was best to give them another option and gives us time to get one or two players in.'
