Cheltenham Town midfielder Josh Emery has joined Zamaretto League Premier Division Cirencester Town on a month's loan.

The 19-year old central midfielder, who signed his first professional contract with the club in the summer having spent two years as a Scholar, will link up with Cirencester in time for this weekend's fixtures.

Cirencester are managed by former Cheltenham Town midfielder Brian Hughes and Robins boss Mark Yates says the loan move should benefit all parties.

"We've been looking to get loan moves for one or two of the younger members of the squad," said Mark.

"This will give Josh the chance to play some first team football which is important for his development as a player.

"Hopefully he will benefit from the experience and help Cirencester out as well."

Last season Josh, who is the son of former Hereford United, Derby County and Wrexham player Steve Emery, spent a successful period on loan at Worcester City in BlueSquare South while still a Scholarship player.
