He has since made 26 appearances in all competitions and has chipped in with four goals.

Cheltenham situation

Gloucestershire Live say in their report that Vassell saw a move to the States fall through in the summer before Cheltenham handed him a contract.

Duff’s side have adapted well to life in League One this term after their promotion from League Two and are comfortably in mid-table.

Who are San Diego Loyal?

San Diego Loyal play in the USL Championship, which is the equivalent of the second tier in American soccer. They were founded and are now managed by former Everton attacker Landon Donovan.

They are also the home to English midfielder Charlie Adams who played with Vassell at Brentford.
