Cheltenham Town have secured a key piece of their midfield puzzle, with Ryan Broom putting pen to paper on a new contract at Whaddon Road. The 29-year-old's commitment to the League Two side marks yet another chapter in his enduring relationship with the Robins.
While the club has chosen to keep the length of the deal under wraps, Broom's return to form has been a bright spot in Cheltenham's campaign. Since rejoining last summer following his stint with Fleetwood Town, the midfielder has racked up 36 appearances across all competitions, proving his worth as a reliable engine in the squad.
Broom's history with Cheltenham is a tale of three spells. He first arrived in 2018, spending two seasons at the club before departing. A season-long loan brought him back in 2022, and now this latest extension solidifies his status as a familiar face in the dressing room—a player who just keeps coming back for more.
Manager Steve Cotterill didn't hold back in his praise, highlighting Broom's character both on and off the pitch. "He's a wonderful character and a fantastic professional—you can't have enough of those in the squad," Cotterill told the club website. "He is settled at the club and has just become a dad. His versatility is an important attribute, and we look forward to seeing him in pre-season."
For fans of the Robins, this news is a welcome boost as the team looks ahead to the next campaign. Broom's ability to slot into multiple positions gives Cotterill tactical flexibility, while his experience and leadership will be invaluable in a competitive League Two landscape. Whether you're cheering from the stands or gearing up in your Cheltenham Town kit, there's plenty to be excited about as Broom commits to the cause once again.
