Cheltenham Town have attempted to fill the void created by Grant McCann's loan departure by signing Kristian O'Leary from Swansea City on an emergency loan.

O'Leary is a former Swansea skipper who has made only a handful of appearances for the Welsh club this season.

The 29-year-old has agreed a one-month loan switch to Whaddon Road.

"We have moved quickly to plug the gap left by Grant McCann and I'm sure Kris O'Leary will be an excellent signing for us," Robins boss John Ward told the club's official website.

"He has a wealth of experience in Leagues One and Two and actually played last week against Port Vale so he comes to us nice and fresh.

"He will bring strength and experience to the midfield area and we will look at the possibility of extending the loan if it all works out well for us."
