Kiwi defender joins Spireites
By Tara Underhill -
Chesterfield have signed New Zealand U20 international defender Liam Graham following a spell on trial.
The 23-year-old right-back, who was a free agent, previously played for Italian clubs Ascoli, Monza and Pro Patria.
Commenting on the deal, Spireites manager Dean Saunders said: “Liam is not a player who will immediately be in contention for a place in the first team, but we feel that we can work on developing him as a player in the reserves.”
Graham said: “I’ve played two games for the reserves and already I feel a pretty good connection with the players I’ve been playing with. Now I’m excited to get going.“
Graham, who was born in Melbourne, remains eligible to represent New Zealand or Australia.
