Will Grigg makes surprise transfer from EFL to managerless National League side

35-year-old striker Grigg joins Forest Green Rovers on a deal until 2028 after leaving Chesterfield, where he will play under a coaching trio rather than a manager.

Will Grigg has completed a move from Chesterfield to Forest Green Rovers on a contract running until the end of the 2027/28 season. The 35-year-old Northern Ireland international, who scored 24 goals to fire Chesterfield to National League promotion last season, had fallen out of favour at the EFL club and was omitted from the matchday squad ten times this term. He joins Forest Green, who currently sit 16th in the National League, and will wear the No.31 shirt. Grigg could debut in Saturday's trip to Barrow, though he will operate under a coaching trio of Jonathan Gould, Josh Bowen and Yan Klukowski rather than a manager, after Robbie Savage's departure to Peterborough.
