Ward scored 12 league goals for the Spireites last season

Chesterfield striker Jamie Ward believes he will hit the 20-goal mark if he stays fit this season.

The 22-year-old, who scored 12 times in the league last season, has struck twice on four games so far.

"Last season I was having a few problems with my hamstrings, but this season - touch wood - I have not had any," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"I am confident I will get 20 goals - and I think Jack Lester will score 20 as well," he added.

Ward is also relishing the responsibility of being the only fit striker at the club at the moment.

"I enjoy it most of the time when I'm not playing with Jack because I know there's pressure on me to score," he said.

"That's what being a goalscorer is all about."
