Lewis Freestone: Cheltenham defender signs two-year extension

Lewis Freestone has become a regular fixture of Cheltenham's back line since joining the club

Cheltenham Town defender Lewis Freestone has signed a contract extension to stay with the club until the end of the 2024-25 season.

The 22-year-old signed for the Robins in August 2020 after leaving Brighton & Hove Albion.

Freestone, who plays at left wing-back and across the back three, has made 58 appearances for the League One club.

"It's in my character and nature to have a more senior role in the team," Freestone said.

"Despite my age, I think it's in my personality to be a role model and a little bit of a leader-especially to lads my age because I can always push them on."

Freestone began his career at Peterborough United and still had a year left on his current Cheltenham deal but has agreed a two-year extension.
