Midfielder Banks to leave Chesterfield

Ollie Banks made 230 appearances in all competitions and scored 30 goals across two spells with Chesterfield

Midfielder Ollie Banks is set to leave Chesterfield when his contract expires this summer.

The 32-year-old was a mainstay for the League Two side this season, helping the Spireites to a seventh-place finish before they lost to Walsall in the play-off semi-final.

Banks made 40 league appearances and scored two goals during the 2024-25 campaign and was also a key part of the National League title-winning squad last season.

It brings to an end his second three-year spell with the club having also played for Chesterfield between 2013 and 2016.

"One of the hardest things I've ever had to do, saying goodbye to Chesterfield," Banks wrote on X.

"I've loved every single minute of representing this club - the highs, the challenges, the memories we've made together.

"Moments I'll carry with me forever and ones my two little lads will grow up remembering too.

"Thank you to each and every one of the fans, players, and staff, your support has meant everything. It's been a pleasure and an honour.

"Now onto a new chapter.. but a huge part of my heart will always be here. All the best Spireites!"

Chesterfield said on the club website: "The club would like to thank Ollie for his tremendous efforts both on and off the pitch during his two spells as a Spireite. We also wish him the best in his future."
