But he has featured far less regularly this season, making just one league appearance, as a substitute in the 1-1 draw at Scunthorpe in August.

Chester are 13th in the National League North, just three points off the play-off places.

Emmerson joins Charlie Hayes-Green in heading out of the club recently, with the defender signing on a permanent deal with FC United.
