Cardiff youngster joins Chesterfield on loan

Chesterfield have signed Cardiff City defender Declan John on a one month loan deal.

John has failed to impress Bluebirds boss Russell Slade this season, making only one appearance for Cardiff in the 2015/16 season.

Due to a lack of playing time, John has been allowed to leave on loan, joining League One strugglers Chesterfield on an initial one month loan deal.

Danny Wilson’s Spireites side are currently languishing in the League One relegation zone, and boast the league’s fourth worst defensive record, having conceded 50 goals in 30 games this season.

It’s the second time Wilson has captured John on loan as a manager, having brought in the youngster on loan last season as boss of fellow League One side Barnsley.

In Cardiff’s debut Premier League season, John featured heavily, making 20 league appearances for The Bluebirds. John’s impressive Premier League performances saw him earn an international call-up from Wales in 2014.

However, John has struggled to find form since Cardiff’s relegation back to the Championship, and has fallen out of favour at the Welsh club completely this term.

Despite John being aged only 20, he already has a wealth of experience, and Spireites boss Wilson will be hoping that he can utilise John’s experience in the coming weeks as Chesterfield look to fend off relegation to League Two.
