Dennis, who was on loan at the Moss Rose from side Stockport County, netted 29 goals in all competitions to attract interest from a number of Football League sides.

“You look at somebody like Jamie Vardy – it shows that if somebody believes in your ability and gives you the chance to show it, there's no limit.”

Spireites boss Danny Wilson added: “He's a very level-headed boy who is determined to do well in the Football League and become an established player. He is prolific and I think he can offer us a great deal.”
