Richards Loaned to Bath

...Eliot Richards has moved to National League South side Bath City on a month`s loan deal.

The forward has overcome testicular cancer in 2015 and has yet to play a competitive match since starting treatment in March. He has therefore joined Bath to try and get some minutes under his belt to try and force his way into Gary Johnson's side.

The 24-year-old has been training with the first-team since September but his recovery suffered a set-back last month when he pulled his hamstring. He is now ready to get back on the pitch and try and propel Bath towards the play-offs.

Richards could be in line to make his first appearance for his new side on Saturday when Bath travel to Truro City.
