Spireites sign duo
Chesterfield have completed the signing of former West Ham winger Zavon Hines and secured Millwall central defender Sid Nelson on loan until the end of the season.
Hines, 29, joins the Spireites on an 18-month contract after scoring seven goals in 22 appearances for Maidstone United. Nelson, who is 22, has just completed a loan spell at Yeovil Town.
Jack Lester, Spireites manager, is delighted to have signed the pair. He said:-
”Zavon is an exciting player who can play on either wing or down the middle and he gives you energy.
“Sid is a very aggressive player who is a leader for a young lad. He comes very highly recommended by Millwall manager Neil Harris and he’s an important signing for us.”
Hines, who made 31 appearances for the Hammers, said:-
“It’s all happened very quickly, but I’m happy to be back in the Football League. Hopefully I can repay the faith that the manager has shown in me.”
Hines also had stints at Burnley, Bradford City, Dagenham & Redbridge and Southend United before joining Maidstone in August.
Nelson, who has made 38 appearances for Millwall, said:-
“It’s a pleasure to be here. I know this is a big club for this division and we’re in a position we shouldn’t be at the moment.
“I am someone who gives 100 per cent, week in, week out and I want to try and help get the team moving up the table.”
