The 25-year-old former Stockport County youngster signed for the Blues last summer after a spell with Macclesfield Town, and after making 27 appearances in the Vanarama National League to date for the club, he has now agreed to relinquish the previously-agreed extension clause with Chester in the midst of sizeable financial struggles.
