Chesterfield manager admits interest in trialist.

Chesterfield are keen to sign former Rangers midfielder Peter Leven. The Spireites manager Lee Richardson is looking to strengthen his squad and he admits he is interested Leven. The 23-year-old, who was released by Kilmarnock at the end of last season, has been on trial at Saltergate and he impressed Richardson in Chesterfield's 5-1 friendly win over Matlock on Tuesday. "As a manager you like to have as many good players as you can and if we can do something with Leven then I would like to do that," said Richardson. "I thought he fitted in very well against Matlock and I think he is a very good player. We will have to see if we can see more of him." Meanwhile, defender Gareth Davies has been sidelined for the start of the season after breaking a toe against Matlock. Davies limped out of the match with only 12 minutes on the clock and a scan has revealed he has three breaks in his big toe. The 24-year-old now faces at least six weeks out of action after making just 18 appearances in Chesterfield's last campaign following a number of injury setbacks "This is cruel luck for Gareth as he has just returned fully recovered for pre-season training after an injury hit season last year," Richardson concluded.
