Cheltenham sign Fleetwood on loan

Stuart Fleetwood
Fleetwood scored 36 goals in all competitions for Forest Green last season

Cheltenham boss Martin Allen has signed Charlton striker Stuart Fleetwood on loan for a month, his fifth signing.

The Robins made two offers to Forest Green last season for the 22-year-old striker before he moved to Charlton after a tribunal in the summer.

However, he has not made his competitive debut for the Addicks yet.

Allen told the club's website: "I've never liked him as he has always been a complete pain in the backside whenever playing for the opposition."

Former Wales Under-21 international Fleetwood grew up in Gloucestershire, his parents still live in the county and as he tries to establish himself at Charlton, coming home for a spell was an easy decision.

"I've been trying to force my way into the first team at Charlton but unfortunately that hasn't happened yet," he said.

"It was an easy decision to move back, obviously I know the area really well, so it wasn't a hard decision to make."

After Josh Payne and Lewis Montrose, Fleetwood is Cheltenham's third loan signing in a week. Allen signed Scott Murray and Drissa Diallo in his first week in charge at Whaddon Road.
