Former Dundalk prospect joins League Two side after returning from loan spell in Hungary

Former Dundalk prospect Val Adedokun has jumped from one loan spell to another.

Just days after his stay with Hungarian outfit Diósgyőri VTK officially came to an end, the left-sided player has put pen to paper with League Two side Cheltenham Town until the end of the season.

And the Dubliner could be in line for an appearance on Saturday when his new club take on AFC Wimbledon.

Adedokun (21) made one start and two substitute appearances in Hungary before an injury last month cut short his time there. In total, he played 141 minutes across the three games.

He moved from Dundalk to Brentford B in August 2021, and last season he captained the team, starting 33 times and scoring four goals. His exploits last term earned him the Brentford B Player of the Year award.

Adedokun, who trained with Cheltenham on Tuesday morning, is not the only Irishman at the League Two side. The Robins signed right-back Darragh Power from Waterford in December, while Liam Kinsella, son of former Ireland international Mark Kinsella, is also there.
