"We are delighted to have secured the services of an outstanding footballer, who is now keen to get back to work and score goals. "Chesterfield Football Club have given a great deal of thought to this signing and following the court’s decision, we are in no doubt that Ched Evans should be welcomed back into his profession as a professional footballer"Given the Welshman's past conviction, Twitter users were quick to point out the obscenity of signing a player who awaits a retrial for rape.
Ched Evans has signed for Chesterfield!? Makes me SICK that he has been allowed to play pro again! — SW (@bigwillyking) June 20, 2016
So @ChesterfieldFC have signed up #ChedEvans despite the fact that he's on trial again for rape, disgusting apologist fuckheads.

Ched Evans still hasn't been cleared yet. Still a lot of rape apologists appearing because he signed for a football club. Okay then — Ethan Wood (@ethan_wood__) June 20, 2016
