Gloucester City manager Mike Cook has brought in five young players to boost his numbers in addition to four more senior players who recently signed.
Amidst them are two former Cheltenham Town scholars.
Defenders Ioan Richards and Tom Handley have been with the Tigers in
pre-season after failing to earn professional contracts at Cheltenham. Richards got experience on loan
with Slimbridge last season in the Southern League, while Handley had a
spell with Lydney Town in the Hellenic League Premier Division.
Former Bristol Rovers defender Jamie Bremner has also joined the club,
along with Jack Spark, an 18-year-old former Bristol City youngster.
The final arrival is James Spruce, a striker who joined Bristol Rovers
academy in May 2016. He was called up to the Wales Under-19’s squad in
September last year for games against Iceland and has since been a a
part of the Welsh youth set up.
'It’s great for these lads to come into the first team and shows that
the approach we’ve developed at the club is hopefully now starting to
work,' said a statement from the club.
Cook has also brought in four senior players recently including two former Hereford United players.
The four are Birmingham City loan goalkeeper Zach Jeacock, Jennison Myrie-Williams, Marlon Jackson and Fabien Robert from Forest
Green.
Last Thursday Gloucester defeated Aberystwyth Town 4-0 with Jackson scoring two of the goals.
Hereford will face Gloucester at Evesham on August 6th.
