Cheltenham Town have extended the loan of Bristol City defender Richard Keogh until the end of the season.

Robins boss Keith Downing told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: "We've signed him up today, we're very pleased.

"Richard has been a tremendous asset to us since coming in at Leeds and has strengthened the defence.

"That's a big plus for us, and we'll assess that at the end of the season. But we're thankful again to Gary Johnson for loaning us his players."

Downing reckons the centre-back partnership Keogh has formed with Shane Duff is as good as any in League One.

"They've come together and had a good understanding from day one.

"They've got some pace, mobility, they've got good attitudes, they're strong, they head it and defend exceptionally well.

"They've been probably one of the main reasons for our five-game unbeaten run up until Nottingham Forest."
