....eighteen-month contract from National League North side Alfreton Town.

 

He is a player that manager Martin Allen has been after for a while as he gives the Spireites another option to score goals and make goals.

 

Denton joined the Reds in May 2018 on a one-year deal ahead of the new 2018/19 season, he was Billy Heath’s first summer signing.

 

He fired 6 goals in the opening nine games of the campaign.

 

The Yorkshireman is no stranger to the National League, having won promotion with FC Halifax Town and then played for a season at this level prior to starting his second spell at Alfreton in May.

 

Denton began his career at Wakefield before being signed by Huddersfield Town in 2008.

 

He then had a series of loan spells including a stint at Cheltenham Town, where he was given his Football League debut by Martin Allen.

 

Alfreton manager Billy Heath told the club`s press officer Amar Sharma: “We’re extremely disappointed to let Tom go, we know what he brings to the table, know what he offers. It’s a loss for us but when an opportunity like this comes for a player, I’ve always stood by the fact that we have to let the player take it.”

 

“Tom is 29 now, it’s a chance for him to join a full-time club and what many would consider a Football League side. It’s his last chance to be involved in full time football.”

 

“Tom wanted to speak to them and the move back into the National League also attracted him, he’d be moving into a higher level and he was keen to do that.”

 

“All at the club wish Tom all the best, he has been fantastic at all three clubs I’ve had him, we’ve been good for each other and we wish him well”.
