Jamie Devitt joins Chesterfield

Chesterfield have completed the signing of winger Jamie Devitt on a short-term contract.

The 23-year-old had been available on a free transfer after departing Hull City at the end of last season.

"Paul has known Jamie for a long time and his ability has never been in question," chief executive Chris Turner told the club's official website.

"We've got a lot of talented footballers and Jamie certainly falls into that category.

"Jamie is in the Sammy Morsy, Gary Roberts, Jimmy Ryan bracket and he's been brought in to compete for his place and provide competition for others."

A number of Football League clubs had reportedly expressed an interest in his services.
