Portsmouth sign midfielder Gary Roberts from Chesterfield

Gary Roberts joins Portsmouth after agreeing a three-year deal with the Fratton Park outfit.

Portsmouth have completed a deal for Chesterfield midfielder Gary Roberts.

The League Two outfit agreed a three-year contract with Roberts after the Spireites accepted an undisclosed offer for the 31-year-old.

Pompey manager Paul Cook believes that recruiting the midfielder from his former club is a sensible move.

He told the club's official website: "I'm delighted that we've signed Gary and I view this as a no-risk transfer, which is always great.

"His record speaks for itself and I'm sure the fans will be looking forward to seeing him in action."

Roberts is Portsmouth's fourth signing of the summer after Kal Naismith, Enda Stevens and Kyle Bennett all agreed to move to Fratton Park.
