Sam Sherring leaves MK Dons in loan move to Cheltenham Town

Sam Sherring has left MK Dons after joining Cheltenham Town on a season-long loan deal.

The 25-year-old joins a Cheltenham side who have picked up just one point from their opening 5 games, with the Robins confirming his deal on the final day of the transfer window.

The move was the only major move involving the Dons on the final day of the window, with the Dons having made the last of their 10 signings yesterday (31/08).

Sherring leaves after just over a year in Milton Keynes, having joined the Dons from Northampton Town last summer.

Although Sherring arrived on the back of two impressive seasons with the Cobblers, he endured a difficult season at MK Dons. The defender scored an own goal on his debut, struggled with illness and injury problems and made just 13 appearances for the club, with his last coming in January.

In a brief statement, MK Dons said, “Featuring under both Mike Williamson and Scott Lindsey, ‘Shez’ is a popular member of the squad at Stadium MK, and goes on loan with everyone’s best wishes.

“Everyone at MK Dons wishes Sam all the best for the rest of the season.”

Sherring told the official Cheltenham Town website that he was delighted to make the move to Gloucestershire.

He said, “I’m really happy, I’ve come in today, met the lads and trained. It was a really good vibe and I’m looking forward now to the game tomorrow and cracking on.

“For me it’s a chance to play some consistent minutes. I’m looking to really make an impact on the team and play as much as I can whilst I’m here.

“It’s still early in the season, there’s a lot games left to play and hopefully I can help the team climb up the league.”
