Cheltenham Town have signed left-back Taine Anderson on loan for the 2025-26 season from Bristol City.

The 19-year-old has yet to make a first-team appearance for the Championship side, having been with their academy since the under-seven age grade.

He spent much of the last season out injured before scoring three goals in four games for Bristol City Under-21s on his return in March.

"Taine is very good technically, he's quick and he's got a great left foot on him. We're really happy to get this one over the line," Cheltenham manager Michael Flynn said.

"We have to build him up because he had a bad injury last season and I'm hoping we'll get him ready for 2 August."

Bristol City technical director Brian Tinnion said Anderson has a lot of "potential".

"The loan at Cheltenham will give him valuable first team experience. We will keep monitoring his progress closely," he added.

Anderson is Cheltenham's third signing of the summer following defender Robbie Cundy and striker Lee Angol's arrivals.
