"I'm very excited to make the move. This is a massive push for me, so hopefully I can press on now," he told the club website.

Manager Graham Coughlan added: "We were obviously disappointed to lose Seb [Palmer-Houlden, to injury] We needed to replace him and thankfully we have a great relationship with Bristol City, Seb's parent club, who were keen to help.

"Olly brings a lot of the same qualities as Seb â€“ the presence, link-up play and pressing â€“ together with his own individual strengths.

"He's a great addition to the squad and we are all looking forward to working with him."
