Everton goalkeeper Harry Tyrer is full of pride helping Chesterfield win promotion.

Chesterfield's return to League Two was confirmed on Saturday.

Tyrer told the Liverpool Echo: Like with Chester last season, I never wanted to go in there and be the big character who has come from the Premier League. I wanted to make sure I was one of the lads, fighting and digging dirty whether that's picking up gear left on the bus or staying in late at training to get all the equipment in to help the coaches.

I want to be that kind of person, I don't want to be known as a 'Big Time Charlie' I don't think that's me. I'd like to say that I'm a very hard-working young lad.

You've got to get in with the club and take on board what they want. You can't have any off-days, you've got to keep on top of it.

Paul Cook, the gaffer at Chesterfield, wants a high line with a modern day keeper, sweeping the play and I think I've probably worked on that a lot with the coaching staff. The goalkeeper coach at Chesterfield (Dave O'Hare) has really helped me a lot with things like starting positions, playing higher and being that 11th man like another outfield player.

Last season I think I grew up a lot in terms of it being men's football with a lot of elbows and bumps and stuff. I've found there's a lot of growing up to be done in that respect in the lower leagues."
