The 28-year-old joined the Tigers at the start of the season from league rivals Chester and went on to make 10 appearances for the club, scoring 8 goals.

 

He had been in sensational form for the Seals, scoring 21 goals in 29 appearances.

 

He was third in the National League North top scorer’s table, averaging a league goal every 94 minutes - the best in the division and only bettered by Sergio Aguero across the top six domestic leagues.

 

Originally from Amsterdam, started his career at Birmingham City in 2011.

 

He had loan spells at Northampton Town and Shrewsbury Town before leaving the Blues to sign for Kidderminster Harriers.

 

After leaving Aggborough he made the short trip north to Solihull Moors and in a two-season stint in the National League he scored 28 goals, attracting the attention of Football League clubs.

 

In 2017 he signed for Grimsby Town in League Two but left the Mariners by mutual consent and signed for Tamworth.

 

After 24 games with Tamworth he moved to Chester, initially on loan, and on his debut scored a `perfect` hat-trick in a 3-1 win over Darlington.

 

He has been prolific for the Deva Stadium outfit, making him one of the National League North’s most sought-after marksmen.

 

Asante had 18 months of his contract remaining with the Tigers. However, Chesterfield met a release clause enabling him to leave for a club in a higher division.

 

As a part of the agreement, Chesterfield have confirmed that no other contracted Gloucester City players will be approached.
