Cheltenham Town have signed forward Josh Martin on a one-year deal after a trial period with the club.

The 23-year-old arrived in Gloucestershire at the end of July and has impressed enough to earn a season's deal with the Robins.

Martin began his career in the Arsenal academy before joining Norwich City. He also had spells at Portsmouth and Notts County, and spent the second half of last season at Newport County.

He becomes Michael Flynn's ninth summer signing ahead of the trip to MK Dons on Saturday as the Robins look for their first league win of the new in League Two season.
