    Boston United have signed Chesterfield defender Jamie Grimes on loan for the remainder of the season.

    The 35-year-old is into the final months of his contract with Chesterfield, having had a year-long option triggered last summer.

    Grimes captained the Derbyshire club to League Two promotion as National League title winners in 2024 and featured 42 times for them on their return to the EFL last term.

    The centre-half, who counts Swansea, Kidderminster and Macclesfield among his former clubs, has made just eight appearances across all competitions this season.

    A new initiative highlighting the work of football club charities has been launched by the English Football League (EFL).

    'Scan to Smile' will be rolled out in stadiums across the EFL from Friday until the end of January, with supporters invited to scan QR codes on posters displayed around grounds.

    Each scan will unlock a short, uplifting story from a person whose life has been positively impacted by the support of their local club charity.

    The subjects tackled include mental health support, combating loneliness, improving physical wellbeing, employability and confidence.

    The EFL said it hoped the initiative would use "the reach and influence of football to offer fans a moment of positivity on matchday".

    Trevor Birch, chief executive at the EFL, said: "Behind every club are people whose lives have been positively changed through the work and dedication of their local EFL club charity.

    "This initiative gives supporters the chance to see that impact first-hand and reminds us that football truly is a force for good."
