Powell pens pro deal

Teenage midfielder Adam Powell has signed his first professional contract with Cheltenham Town.

The 18-year-old becomes the third second-year scholar to turn professional at the club this summer. "I am absolutely buzzing," said Powell after penning a one-year deal. "This has been what I have been working towards for years and it's all everyone wants to be. I hope I can repay the faith the manager has shown in me. "I just need to learn at this stage of my career and soak it all in and then show what I can do," he told the club's official website.
