Chelsea winger Reece Mitchell has opted not to extend his contract with the club to join Chesterfield.
The 20-year-old enjoyed a very positive campaign with Chelsea's Under-21 squad and was offered a one-year extension but decided to leave Stamford Bridge in order to work under Danny Wilson.
"I had a really good season in the Under-21s season at Chelsea and I was offered another year but I wanted to play some first-team football and get some league experience," he told Chesterfield's official website.

"I'm really happy to be here and I'm excited about the challenge.

"Last season was not the best season, but the season before that, they got to the play-offs and did really well.
"The manager here likes to play young players, has a good philosophy and the upcoming season looks promising."
