Accrington land Chesterfield midfielder Butterfield on loan to season end
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 only three substitute appearances in the league this campaign.
Butterfield featured for Everton’s under-21s in the EFL Trophy last season, making two appearances in the competition. One of those games came at Accrington, where Everton’s youngsters were beaten 2-1, according to the report.
He could make his Stanley debut on Saturday in the trip to Walsall, with kick-off scheduled for 1500 GMT. The report described Walsall as promotion-chasing.
Accrington boss John Doolan said Butterfield’s move is designed to help him get going. “It’s an opportunity for him to kick-start his career and we hope he will take it,” Doolan told the club website.
