Found a small thread on the Bury forum about him when he left them for Chesterfield and opinion seems to be split on him, some reckoned he would be a decent league 1 centre back when experienced, whereas some reckoned he would never make it above national league level.

Jolley did say in his radio interview that he had been talking with Jack Lester ...”about another matter not Assistant Manager role” so seems to fit.

Not sure if he played against town in recent game but did not stand out either for good or bad reasons if he did. Remember Morecambe having Big centre half with short hair who was given pretty torrid time by Jackson on the day but clearly someone MJ knows.

In all honesty you can never really judge a player on seeing them play the odd game as all players have nightmare games and worldys so will just have to wait and see, good age if nothing else!!

Ooh, he played for the famous Wallsend Boys Club (like Shearer, Carrick and Widdrington)

I've no idea if this chap is any good, but seeing as MJ  is signing him, he's probably (or will become) ace!

MJ obviously knows him very well having worked with him at Burnley. 22 year old and A big strong centre half with a little bit of pace and also pretty comfortable with both feet by all accounts. Big strength is that he’s supposed to be very good in the air. He’s had a number of loan spells, did well at both chester and Gateshead in the national league which in turn got him a loan spell at Morecambe in league two last year and did well there. That got him a loan spell at league one bury. Fans seem quite split about his Time there in truth. Joined chesterfield in January this year. majority of there fans said he’s done ok for them. Hopefully in a better team, with some real experience next to him in danny Collins and playing under a manager he knows and likes, he can be a real asset. He’s certainly got the attributes and the pedigree to be a real asset.

I'm sure hes on a 2 year deal with chesterfield. Does that mean a few is involved? If so mj must really rate him, if he's managed to persuade fent y to pay out some £££££!

Chesterfield have cut their playing budget massively so perhaps just glad to get rid of him
