The player's move to a Championship side may also put him on the radar of Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill.

Chesterfield Chief Executive Chris Turner said the deal was the right one for both the player and the club.

"Eoin's been here for 16 month," he said. "He's been a tremendous success for us.

"The deal today is good for everybody. We are not a club to stand in the way of a player's progression. "
