Chesterfield midfielder Derek Niven has signed a new one year extension to his contract, which means he will now be staying at Saltergate until June 2009.
The 24 year old has made 201 appearances, and has scored 16 goals, since first joining the Spireites from Bolton Wanderers in December 2003.
Derek Niven said: "I am looking forward to having another stab at getting promotion next season and think that Lee Richardson is a good manager who will lead us to success."
