Gerrard
is a highly experienced central defender who played under manager John Sheridan
at Oldham Athletic and Carlisle United, ending last season with the latter.
Yarney
and McKay were both on loan with Chesterfield last term, from Newcastle United
and Cardiff City respectively.
All three
players have signed two-year contracts with McKay joining the development
squad.
Manager
John Sheridan told https://www.chesterfield-fc.co.uk:
“I’ve been a bit patient but I’m just glad to get them over the line. I think
they’ll be great additions to what we’ve already got.
“I’ve been
trying to get Anthony for a while now and I think he’ll be a top player for us.
He’s played at a higher level and he’s just what we need.
“Josef is
only young and he’s still learning the game, but I like his attitude and
hopefully we’ll bring him on.”
Commenting
on the signing of McKay, Sheridan said: “I thought Jack got better and better
towards the end of the season. He got stronger and he’s a player I think I can
make better”. |
