Chesterfield sign Hull City defender Liam Cooper on loan

Chesterfield have signed Hull City defender Liam Cooper on an initial one-month loan deal.

The 21-year-old, who has not played for the Tigers first team this season, has previously had loan spells with Carlisle and Huddersfield.

Cooper could make his debut for the Spireites in Saturday's FA Cup first round tie against Hartlepool.

He becomes manager Paul Cook's first signing since he took charge at the Proact Stadium last week.
