ONE TO WATCH

 

Kabongo Tshimanga 

 

Chesterfield’s latest signing began his professional career at League One side MK Dons back in 2014, after coming through the academy with the Club.

 

After several loans to Aldershot, Thróttur, Yeovil Town, Tshimanga finally found a permanent home at Boston United in 2017, where he spent a season. 

 

A year later he joined Boreham Wood and had a very successful spell, scoring 19 goals before Chesterfield FC snapped him up in the latest transfer window.

 

The 24-year-old striker has been very clinical in front of goal and already has three goals in five games for the Club.
