Allott was signed by former Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore in June

Former Chesterfield captain Mark Allott has returned to the club on a two-year deal after eight weeks at Tranmere.

The 31-year-old midfielder left Oldham for Rovers last month, but new manager John Barnes was willing to let him go.

Allott told BBC Radio Sheffield: "I had signed for Tranmere under Ronnie Moore, but then John Barnes came in.

"I got the call on Friday, and then I was able to speak to Chesterfield. I want to be part of something this season, maybe promotion."

Allott first joined Chesterfield on loan from Oldham in December 2001, before making the move permanent in June 2007.

He has made 243 appearances for the Spirites and was voted as the club's player of the year and supporters' player of the year in 2005/06.
