Chesterfield have completed the signing of former Wolves forward Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.

29-year-old Ebanks-Blake makes the move to the Spireites after being released by Preston North End, following their promotion to the Championship.

Ebanks-Blake began his career at Premier League giants Manchester United, going on to have spells at Plymouth Argyle, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ipswich Town.

He then signed on a short term deal at Preston earlier this year, but was limited to just one league start, struggling to overhaul North End’s top marksmen Joe Garner and Jermaine Beckford.

The diminutive front man netted just once in 13 appearances for Preston, so arrives in Derbyshire hoping to reignite his career.

New Chesterfield boss Dean Saunders spoke highly of his new signing when speaking to the club’s website:

"Sylvan is just what the team needs. He’s strong and when the ball comes into the box, he's where it should be. He's hungry to play and he wants to be part of a winning team."
