Cheltenham have bolstered their ranks with the capture of Holmar Eyjolfsson on loan.

Cox also extends Robins stay

Cheltenham have bolstered their ranks with the capture of Holmar Eyjolfsson on a month-long loan deal from West Ham. The centre-back, 19, has played for Iceland's Under 21's and will now go straight into the Robins' squad for Saturday's home clash against Notts County. Eyjolfsson's arrival comes after manager Martin Allen was handed additional funds by the club's board at the start of the week to add a fresh face or two to his squad. Meanwhile, Sam Cox has extended his loan stay at Cheltenham by another month. The Tottenham youngster, who can play at full-back or in midfield, penned a month-long deal at the Abbey Business Stadium at the start of September. However, he is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Robins despite being a regular figure on Martin Allen's substitutes' bench. He will now be included in the squad for the clash against Notts County
