Lee Richardson will give Scott Boden a chance to prove his ability

Chesterfield have snapped up striker Scott Boden, following his release by Sheffield United this summer.

The 18-year-old has agreed a short-term deal with the League Two Spireites and was a substitute in their Carling Cup defeat at Preston on Tuesday.

Manager Lee Richardson told BBC Radio Sheffield: "He has showed up well in pre-season and we have been impressed with his attitude and his play."

Boden needed international clearance, following a brief spell in Finland.
