Accrington Stanley have signed Chesterfield midfielder Luke Butterfield on loan until the end of the season.

The 22-year-old joined the Spireites in the summer after being released by Everton but has made just three substitute appearances in the league this campaign.

He could make his Stanley debut at promotion-chasing Walsall on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

"It's an opportunity for him to kick-start his career and we hope he will take it," boss John Doolan told the club website.
