And it’s the manager’s input that persuaded him to remain a Chesterfield player for at least another month.
“He calls me after games to see how I think I did, tells me what I did well and what I can work on and then goes through it in training.
“He’s developing me as a player and developing the team.
“He’s a really good players’ manager, one of the best I’ve had, really positive. He was one of the main reasons I stayed.”
