Jordon Forster leaves Hibs to join Cheltenham

Centre-back Jordon Forster has left Hibernian to join Cheltenham on a two-year contract.

The 23-year-old made 79 appearances for Hibs, scoring six goals, and returns to Sky Bet League Two following a loan spell with Plymouth during last season.

Forster told his new club's official website: I'm really looking forward to getting started and playing some games.

It became clear to me that my game time at Hibernian might be limited so when I heard that Cheltenham Town were interested I was very happy to speak to the manager (Gary Johnson) and I liked what I heard. He told me about his plans for the season and his philosophy.

I also spoke to Liam Fontaine, who I know from Hibs, and he played for the manager at Bristol City and told me some good things so I was more than happy to come down.'
