Cheltenham Town have signed Bournemouth defender Owen Bevan.

Bevan moves to the League One outfit on-loan for the season.

"I'm buzzing really," Bevan told the club website.

"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."

Cheltenham head of recruitment Russell Milton said, "He's a good and solid all-round defender with good attributes in all aspects of the game.

"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."
