Youngster Smith Begins Loan Spell

A graduate of the City Academy, London-born Steven moves to the New Manor Ground for the first loan move of his young career, following Under-21 team-mate Jide Maduako in joining the Robins until January.

A versatile defender, Steven has been a regular with Steve Beaglehole’s City Under-21 side this season and his move to the Evo-Stick League Premier Division will offer him the chance to experience some first team football.
