Gray added.

Impressed we managed to even get 2 million to be honest with his contract running out.

Says a lot about where we are as a club right now when we're shipping our cast offs to Lyon and Bayer Leverkusen.

Callum Wright added

 

Strange time to be going there but he seems happy about it.

 

OS - Cheltenham Town’s next two Sky Bet League Two fixtures against Barrow AFC (Tuesday 2 February) and Carlisle United (Saturday 6 February) have been suspended.

The Club informed the EFL that they would be unable to fulfil the fixtures following recent positive COVID-19 tests and the requirement for players and staff to self-isolate as per EFL and Government guidance in order to mitigate against the risk of further infection.

The circumstances surrounding the postponements will now be the subject of an investigation in accordance with EFL Regulations.

A revised date for the rearranged fixtures will be confirmed in due course.

 

Cheltenham Town are delighted to announce the loan arrival of midfielder Callum Wright from Premier League side Leicester City.

The 20-year-old joins the club on a deal until the end of the season and is the club's third January transfer window signing.

A regular in the Foxes Premier League 2 under-23s squad, Wright is an attacking midfielder who has been at Leicester since joining on transfer deadline day in January 2018 for an undisclosed fee after catching the eye at Blackburn Rovers as a 17-year-old.

Prior to that as a youngster he had been on the books of Tranmere Rovers and Everton in his home city of Liverpool.

In the past three seasons he's featured in Leicester's Papa John's Trophy squad and in five appearances in this season's competition he has found the back of the net two times in wins over Hull City and Grimsby Town.

He's also scored regularly for the under-23s in their Premier League 2 commitments at the King Power Stadium and has played in Leicester's Premier League International Cup fixtures against opponents from across Europe ranging from Bayern Munich to Villareal and Feyenoord.

Commenting on his loan move to Cheltenham Wright said: "It's the next step I need to take and I thought Cheltenham was the perfect place to come in with the style of play and the system that they have.

"As soon as the interest came in from Cheltenham I did my own research. I watched games back and made sure I knew where I was coming because it is a massive stage in my career to try and kick on."

Wright is already familiar with surroundings at the Jonny-Rocks Stadium. He started for Leicester in their July 2019 pre-season friendly with the Robins alongside the likes of Harry Maguire and Kelechi Iheanacho.
