Cheltenham Town are preparing to welcome back midfielder Isaac Hutchinson on loan from Bristol Rovers, according to Gloucestershire Live.
The 25-year-old attacking midfielder made a strong impression during his initial stint with the Robins, netting eight goals across 18 starts and one substitute appearance after joining at the end of the summer transfer window.
Hutchinson quickly became a fan favorite at Whaddon Road, but was recalled by Bristol Rovers on January 6. During his time back with his parent club, he featured in their EFL Trophy match against Plymouth Argyle on January 13, appeared as a substitute in a League Two match versus Colchester United, and started against Salford City before being substituted at halftime by manager Steve Evans.

Most recently, Hutchinson was absent from the Rovers squad that played Newport County AFC, fueling speculation about his imminent departure.
Now, Hutchinson is expected to make a deadline day move back to Cheltenham Town, joining fellow new signings Harry Ashfield and Mo Faal from Wrexham. Manager Steve Cotterill’s squad is set to face MK Dons at home in League Two on Saturday afternoon at 3pm.
This month, Cheltenham Town have bolstered their ranks with the additions of George Nurse, Cole Deeming, Josh Davison, and by making Jake Bickerstaff’s loan deal from Wrexham permanent, signaling an ambitious drive to strengthen the team.
