Chesterfield manager Lee Richardson believes veteran midfielder Kevin Cooper could play a pivotal part in his side's League Two play-off push.Richardson signed the 33-year-old from Cardiff in February and insists the much-travelled playmaker will be a valuable acquisition both on and off the pitch as the season enters its finale.

"He has a lot to offer still at his age. He can still get about and that is a credit to the way he looks after himself, he is an excellent professional," said Richardson.

"Not only that, his experience and influence will be valuable for the younger players at this stage (of the season)."
