Chesterfield FC is set to sign Southampton utility player Kyle Critchell permanently until the end of the season.

Agreement has been reached with both Southampton and the player, who is 20 years old this Thursday.

He is expected to sign before the weekend and be included in the squad for Saturday's home game against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Chesterfield manager Roy McFarland said: "Kyle can play in defence or midfield and is right or left footed, clearly all attributes that can bring greater flexibility for our small squad."

Meanwhile, defender Shane Nicholson could be joining Boston United on one month's loan after an enquiry was made by the League Two club.
