Chesterfield striker Jake Beesley has won praise from Shaw Lane boss Craig Elliott
Shaw Lane AFC boss Craig Elliott believes young striker Jake Beesley has earned the chance to be involved with the Chesterfield first team.
Beesley, whose one-month loan deal with Shaw Lane finished last week, is in the Spireites’ squad for the League One trip to Fleetwood Town tomorrow.
“Chesterfield picked up a couple of injuries last week so he is with the first team tomorrow,” Elliott told Non League Yorkshire.
“It is great for him. I spoke to the assistant manager Richie Humphreys and he’s said that if some of the injured players come back next week then we can have Jake back on a longer loan deal.
“Richie Humphreys came to the Whitby Town game and Jake had a good game so I think he deserves the chance.
“He’s come to Shaw Lane and worked hard. Sometimes when Pro players join semi-pro clubs, some say Non League is not for them.
“But Jake has been different and he has really bonded with the lads. If he doesn’t come back to us, I wish him all the best. He’s been a real pleasure to manage.”
Shaw Lane are due to visit Bedworth tomorrow.
