He spent time in the football league playing for the likes of Bury, Rotherham and Preston. The striker joined Chorley at the start of this season and has found the back of the net seven times this campaign.

 

Previous Meetings


Saturday’s fixture will be the first ever meeting between the two sides.

 

Team News


Following speculation this week, Sheridan confirmed that Anthony Spyrou has returned to his parent club Norwich City.


He also revealed that he should have a full squad for the Chorley game minus the absence of Anthony Gerrard.

 

Sheridan’s Thoughts


The Spireites boss said he expects a tough game: “We are playing a team who are bottom of the league but I’m very wary of them. Every game they have been in has been tight and they have had lots of draws.”
