Chesterfield take Lee Novak on season-long loan

Lee Novak joins Chesterfield on a season-long loan deal after falling out of favour under Gary Rowett at Birmingham City.

Chesterfield have signed Birmingham City striker Lee Novak on a season-long loan.

The 26-year-old has been restricted to just nine Championship appearances since the turn of the year.

Having been overlooked at St Andrew's, Novak has now opted to drop down a level to join the Spireites.

"I've been waiting and waiting and monitoring the situation regarding Lee since the day I arrived here," boss Dean Saunders told the club's official website. "I knew I had to wait until after the first couple of games before other managers showed their hand about their squad.

"Birmingham have done us a good deal and he can only add to what we've got. Lee works hard, he's strong in the air and he scores so he can only add to what we've got. He's got a great attitude and he gives us another option in attack."

Novak played the full 90 minutes of Birmingham's 2-1 victory over Bristol Rovers in the League Cup earlier this week.
