He will link up again with former Shaymen boss Pete Wild, who brought him to Halifax back in 2020 from Scarborough.

Spence, who was out-of-contract, showed outstanding technical ability, vision and awareness in his time at The Shay, although he missed large parts of last season with a persistent groin injury.

A move to the Football League has long since looked a possibility for the midfielder, who joins Jack Senior and Harvey Gilmour in leaving Halifax this week.
