Cheltenham Town make new signing ahead of League One clash against Cobblers
‘"He's a good and solid all round defender with good attributes in all aspects of the game, particularly defending.’
Cheltenham Town have bolstered their squad in time for Saturday’s home game against Northampton by signing young centre-back Owen Bevan on loan from AFC Bournemouth.
The Cherries development squad captain joins the Robins on a season-long-loan, becoming their ninth signing of the summer, and has trained with his new team-mates today (Friday) in preparation for Saturday’s League One fixture.
Cheltenham head of recruitment Russell Milton added: "We're delighted to welcome Owen to the club. He's a welcomed addition who will further add to our squad.
"He's a good and solid all round defender with good attributes in all aspects of the game, particularly defending. It's been a little while coming but we're happy to finally get the deal done and we're looking forward to having him here at Cheltenham."
Bevan added: "I'm buzzing really. I think it's a big step in my career coming up to League One, it's exactly what I need and I'm looking forward to the challenge. For me most importantly, it's always defend first. I like to be aggressive, on the front foot but I like to play a bit too, nice and composed.”
