As a free agent, Mellor was able to extend his hunt beyond the transfer window, and has already landed a deal at Northern Premier League club Macclesfield Town.
Robbie Savage a former Premier League player and Manchester United trainee, is presently Macclesfield’s manager.
For Mellor, Macclefield is three rungs below League Two, so it’s a long way down the football pyramid.
Mellor overcome her nightmare injury
Mellor, a former bright future star for Manchester United in the academy, had his one and only debut for the first squad of the Red Devils in the Europa League against Astana.
At the beginning of the 2020–21 season, Mellor sustained an ACL tear that required two surgeries.
After making an impression for Macclesfield, the 23-year-old signed a free transfer to Chesterfield in the summer.
The forward has not yet made a league start, however he has started the EFL Trophy matches against Lincoln City and Manchester City under-21s.
Drummond came on just before half-time against Port Vale last weekend after Will Grigg hobbled off. With Grigg likely to be out for the short-term, and with Paddy Madden available but not ready to start, the former Liverpool youngster is set to get the nod from the beginning against the Robins.
