Sean answers call from stricken Blues

CHESTER have signed experienced midfielder Sean McAllister to help ease a New Year injury crisis.

The 31-year-old played 73 games for the Owls, scoring four goals, before his release in 2010 following relegation to League One.

Further spells at Shrewsbury Town, Port Vale, Cowdenbeath, Scunthorpe United, Grimsby Town led him to a loan move to York City last term before leaving Grimsby at the end of last season.

Joint-manager Anthony Johnson said: “I think everyone is aware of our injury crisis at the moment.

“Sean has looked superb in training and so we’re delighted to be able to bring him in short term with a view to longer.”
