Cheltenham Town midfielder Harry Tustin has returned to Hereford FC on loan for the second time. The 19-year-old academy graduate impressed during his first spell with the Bulls last season, helping them secure their National League North status. Next fixture: vs Crawley Town (at home, 2027-02-20) (19th in the table).
What happened?
Tustin, who joined Cheltenham at Under-12 level, made four senior appearances for the Robins at the start of last season before moving to Salisbury on loan. He featured nine times in the National League South before joining Hereford in February. During his time with the Bulls, he made 18 appearances and scored in a 3-1 home victory over Radcliffe.
Why it matters for Cheltenham
This loan move provides Tustin with valuable playing time and experience in a competitive environment. It also allows him to continue his development under the guidance of Hereford manager Aaron Downes, who has previously worked with fellow Cheltenham loanees Freddy Willcox and Harrison Sohna.
What comes next?
Hereford begin their campaign away to Buxton on Saturday. Meanwhile, Cheltenham are set to loan out midfielder Willcox, goalkeeper Mamadou Diallo, and forward Sopuruchukwu Obieri in the coming days.
