FORMER York City favourite Andy McMillan could be striding onto the pitch when the Minstermen open their new league campaign at the Saltergate on August 12.

However, the 32-year-old full-back - who lies second in City's all-time appearances list - will not be wearing the red of York, rather the blue of Chesterfield.

McMillan is hoping to kick-start his career with the Spireites after being controversially let go by Scottish first division side Ayr United.

"I'm going down there for training this week and hopefully will play a couple of games, and we'll see how it goes," he said.

"I think Chesterfield are on the look-out for a right-back and a couple of people recommended me to them. They rang to ask if I could possibly go down and I'm just taking it from there."
