A former Spireite is back playing in the National League after time abroad.

Defender Luke Croll, who had a spell at Chesterfield in the 2021/2022 season, has signed for Eastleigh. He made his debut as a late substitute in an epic 5-3 win against Aldershot Town on Saturday. Blues loanee, Bailey Clements, also scored in the match.

Croll made 12 appearances for Chesterfield, which included the memorable FA Cup clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. He made his Town debut in a 3-1 win at home to Southend United and he got on the scoresheet.
