The shirt still fits. Jordan Thomas is back at Cheltenham Town, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

In brief
- Market Cheltenham Town sign Edward Smith, one for the future
- Market Cheltenham Town sign Jonathan White, one for the future
