But he will now aim to help the Spireites, managed by ex-Sligo Rovers boss Paul Cook, out of League Two.

Lincoln director of football Jez George said: “This is a really good option for Dylan to play a number of back-to-back games between now and the end of the season.

“For various reasons, Dylan hasn’t been able to get regular starts this season, so this opportunity is crucial for his development. 

“Paul Cook is an excellent manager, knows how to set up a team and really wants Dylan, so that has been a big factor in the decision.

“Chesterfield are chasing a play-off place so they have everything to play for and Paul has a track-record of getting teams promoted.

“So, we look forward to seeing Dylan’s progress over the remainder of this season and hopefully contribute to their success.”

Elsewhere, Finn Harps have signed former Ireland youth international Dara McGuinness.

Westmeath native McGuinness, 20, joins having spent the past two-and-a-half years with Stoke City.

The striker got his first taste of senior football in the Leinster Senior Cup for St Pat’s in 2019 and featured twice for Shamrock Rovers II in the First Division the following season.

But the disbandment of their second string saw his first-team opportunities dry up before a move to Stoke City in the summer of 2022.
