Cheltenham Town have signed former Shrewsbury Town striker Ryan Bowman and brought in West Ham defender Levi Laing on loan.

Bowman, 32, left Shrewsbury at the end of last season after a three-year spell in which he scored 22 goals in 135 appearances in all competitions.

He netted the winning goal against Cheltenham on the opening day of last season.

Laing, 21, has made one senior appearance for West Ham, in the Europa Conference League.

He played academy football for Brentford and Arsenal, before joining the Hammers in 2021.

The two arrivals take the tally of Cheltenham's new signings this summer to nine in total.
