Cheltenham Town have secured a new contract for Ryan Broom, ensuring the 29-year-old midfielder will continue his third spell with the club. The versatile player, who rejoined the Robins from Fleetwood Town last summer, featured prominently in the 2025/26 season, making 36 appearances across all competitions.
Broom demonstrated his adaptability by excelling in various positions including the wing, right-back, and attacking midfield. His notable contribution included scoring in the decisive 2-0 EFL Cup first-round victory against Exeter City.
