Birmingham City have recalled winger Koby Arthur from his loan spell at Cheltenham Town.

The 18-year-old is back with the Blues after impressing at Whaddon Road since his temporary move on July 25.

Arthur has scored four goals in eight appearances for the Sky Bet League Two side.

He made his first start for the Robins in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at Luton after his previous appearances all came from the substitutes’ bench.

Arthur is now set to feature in the Birmingham squad for Tuesday’s Championship home game against Sheffield Wednesday.

He made his first-team debut for City as a substitute in the 3-2 home defeat to Wolves on April 1, 2013 and has made two further substitute appearances for the Blues as well as starting in the 3-2 Capital One Cup victory over Plymouth last August.

Arthur also featured six times for Lincoln City during a loan spell with the Conference club at the end of last season.
