Notts County have made their third signing of the summer by moving for Chesterfield left-back Joel Taylor.
The Magpies have paid an undisclosed fee for the ex-Chester defender who had a year remaining on his contract at the ProAct Stadium.
It is thought that Taylor has been allowed to move to Meadow Lane after the Spireites captured wing-back Calvin Miller who spent time on loan at Notts last season.
Taylor was regarded as one of the best left-backs in non-league which prompted Chesterfield to pay around £25,000 to Chester for his services last December.
He made 17 appearances for James Rowe’s side and came on as a substitute in Chesterfield’s defeat to Notts in the National League play-off semi-final in June.
Magpies head coach Ian Burchnall has been eager to bolster his wing-back options on the left-hand side particularly after seeing Miller join the Spireites.
The fact Notts have paid a fee for 25-year-old Taylor underlines their ambitions in the transfer market this summer.
He becomes their third signing and follows midfielder Frank Vincent and defender Kyle Cameron to the club.
They are all expected to be given their first taste of action in a Notts shirt when they travel to Coalville for their first pre-season of the summer at the weekend.
