Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Joe Murphy joins Chesterfield on emergency loan

Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Joe Murphy signs for Chesterfield on an emergency loan.

Chesterfield have signed Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Joe Murphy on an emergency loan.

The Spireites were forced to bring in a keeper ahead of their playoff semi-final second leg against Preston North End after Tommy Lee suffered an injury.

The Football League gave the club permission to sign Murphy since back-up stoppers Aaron Chapman and Myles Wright are also sidelined.

"When we were looking for a keeper at short notice, Joe was an obvious choice," Chesterfield Paul Cook told the club's official website.

"He was coached by Eric Nixon as a youngster at Tranmere and has vast experience with over 500 senior appearances under his belt. I'd like to thank Huddersfield for helping out by loaning Joe to us."

Preston won the first leg of the playoff semi-final 1-0 thanks to Jermaine Beckford's strike.
