Chesterfield sign midfielder Butterfield

Luke Butterfield made two appearances in the EFL Trophy for Everton's under-21s last season

Chesterfield have signed former Everton midfielder Luke Butterfield on a two-year deal following a trial.

The 21-year-old has appeared in all of the Spireites' pre-season friendlies so far this summer after being released by the Toffees at the end of last season.

Butterfield could make his competitive debut for Paul Cook's side in their League Two season-opener at home to Barrow on Saturday, 2 August.

"It's a pleasure to finally get the deal sorted. I'm excited for the season ahead," he told the club website.
