Chesterfield boss James Rowe has left the club by mutual consent.

The 38-year-old was suspended on 24 January pending an investigation into allegations of misconduct.

He leaves with The Spireites second in the National League table, one point behind leaders Stockport.

"The club would like to thank James for his achievements during his tenure and wishes him well for the future," the club said in a statement.

Assistant Danny Webb is currently in charge of the team.
