Released Curtis Signs For Chesterfield Following Trial - Ipswich Town News

Released U21s forward Harley Curtis has joined National League Chesterfield on a one-year deal following his recent trial.

Earlier this month, TWTD revealed that Curtis was on trial with the Spireites, who are managed by former Blues boss Paul Cook.

Curtis, who was one of a number of development squad players let go in May, came on as a half-time sub and scored in the Spireites 9-0 friendly victory at Matlock Town soon after linking up with the Derbyshire club and has continued to impress.

The 20-year-old, who was on loan at Braintree Town during the latter stages of last season, played for Chesterfield coach Kieron Dyer’s Blues U23s side, the former England international having recommended him to the Spireites.

Curtis will also be reunited with former Town coach Gary Roberts, another member of the Spireites staff, and former Blues teammates Armando Dobra and Bailey Clements at the Technique Stadium.
