Gallinagh has yet to make an appearance for Cheltenham this season

Bath City have signed defender Andy Gallinagh from Cheltenham Town on a one-month loan deal.

The 26-year-old, who has a year left to run on his current deal, came through the youth ranks at the League Two club and has played a total of 148 games.

He made 25 appearances last term, scoring twice, but has fallen out of favour this season.

"Lee Howells [assistant] knows him well from his Cheltenham days," Bath boss Adie Britton told the club website. external-link

"We're lucky he is available now with injuries and suspensions kicking in."

Gallinagh will be available for Saturday's home match against Kettering Town.
