They have added two new faces to their squad in the hope that they can make a difference during the remainder of the season.

The Robins have signed Swindon Town midfielder Liam Kinsella and also Hull City defender Andy Smith on loan.

Kinsella, 27, signed an 18-month deal with Cheltenham and has made 22 League Two appearances for Swindon since joining in the summer from Walsall.

Andy Smith signed from Hull City on a loan deal until the end of the season. The 22 year-old has been on loan at Grimsby Town for the last two seasons, but now finds himself fighting relegation in League One with the Robins.

Stevenage add 'forgotten' Reading defender on loan

Derby County's promotion rivals Stevenage have added Reading defender Nesta Guinness-Walker on loan until the end of the season.

The 24 year-old featured a lot for Reading last season in the Championship, but has been missing in action this year under new boss Ruben Selles.

Guinness-Walker hasn't been in Reading's matchday squad since November and so will be eager to make more of an impact as a promotion chasing Stevenage side.
