Chesterfield have signed striker Martin Gritton from fellow League Two side Macclesfield Town for an undisclosed fee. Gritton, who has signed until June 2011, joined Macclesfield in the summer of 2007 and made 56 appearances scoring 16 goals. The 30-year-old caught the eye when the Silkmen visited Saltergate in mid-December and came away with a 4-2 win with Gritton scoring twice. The striker has played for a host of clubs in his career including Plymouth, Yeovil, Torquay, Grimsby, Lincoln and Mansfield before signing for Macclesfield. Although Gritton was essentially signed as a replacement for leading scorer and Barnsley bound Jamie Ward, the deal will still go through despite Ward's transfer falling through. Gritton will go straight into the squad for Saturday's game against Rochdale.
