Cheltenham Town have signed defender Craig Braham-Barrett on loan from Macclesfield Town.

The 25-year-old left-back will stay at Whaddon Road until January and Robins manager Mark Yates is delighted with the deal.

"It's a good signing for us," Yates told the club's official website. "This nearly happened a few weeks ago, but we held fire. With a bit of prudence and playing around with the money, we realised we had the chance to bring him in.

"We wanted to take a chance and myself and [assistant manager] Neil [Howarth] have seen him a few times already. I think the fans will be excited by him because he's direct, he'll bomb on and he will create.

"There were a number of other clubs interested, including a few League One teams, so we are happy to have brought him in."

Braham-Barret was a first-team regular for Macclesfield last season, making 45 senior appearances.
