Ched Evans has completed his first training session since joining Chesterfield to resume his playing career.

The former Wales international has been away from the game after being convicted of rape and sentenced to prison, but the verdict was quashed in April.

Evans has reteamed with Chesterfield boss Danny Wilson, who previously managed him at Sheffield United, but faces a retrial in October.

The forward has signed a one-year deal with the Spireites with the option to extend his stay further.
