Cheltenham Town have secured the signing of 21-year-old winger Favour Onukwuli, formerly of Sheffield Wednesday. Manager Steve Cotterill described Onukwuli as “an absolute first-class young man,” highlighting the promising talent joining the team.
In recent transfer activity, Cotterill has also added several players to bolster the squad, including Charlie McCann, Jordan Shipley, Pierce Sweeney, Joe Tomlinson, Shaun McWilliams, and Wyll Stanway on permanent contracts. Additionally, Leicester City prospect Kirsten Otchere has joined Cheltenham on a season-long loan deal.
Onukwuli is already in contention for a place in the starting lineup as Cheltenham prepare to face Charlton Athletic this Saturday evening, with kick-off scheduled for 5.30pm.
