Downes stays with Spireites

26 Jun 2007 - 17:44:20

Chesterfield defender Aaron Downes has signed a one-year extension to his contract with the club.

The 22-year-old Australian is now contracted to the Spireites until June 2009.

Downes told the club's official website: "Although one or two other clubs were starting to sniff around, I'm delighted to be extending my stay at Chesterfield as I just love being here.

"Rico (manager Lee Richardson) is making some great changes to the squad and I hope the fans will back us all the way to promotion next season."

Downes has made 85 appearances during his three seasons with the club.
