Australia NewsBozanic Moves To Cheltenham |
READING'S young Australian star Oliver Bozanic has officially joined English League Two club Cheltenham Town on loan for six months.
The 20-year-old left-sided midfielder, who joined the Royals from the Central Coast Mariners in 2007, is being loaned out by Reading in order to gain some much needed experience.
Bozanic impressed in the latter half of last season on loan in the Blue Square Premier League with Woking and subsequently signed a new one-year-deal at Madejski Stadium.
But despite Reading director of sport recently challenging Bozanic to push for a first-team place this season, the Royals have sent him on loan to the League Two club for the opening half of the season.
Cheltenham boss Martin Allen said, "He was well recommended by people I know at Reading and I saw him play at Woking.
"He's a tidy left-sided player, he's got good feet, is quite quick, gets good crosses in, can pass the ball and gives us a bit of balance on the left."
Bozanic is expected to miss some of the English season with the Under-20 World Cup in Egypt coming up later in the year.
