FOREST Green Rovers have confirmed that Charlie Cooper has agreed to extend his loan at the club until the end of the season.

Signed in December from Championship side Birmingham City, the 19-year-old has made five appearances in all competitions for FGR, including three starts.

He has caught the eye with his energetic and committed showings, which included a man-of-the-match performance in an FA Trophy first round replay win at Truro City.

Forest Green can also confirm that Aarran Racine and Rhys Murphy have both returned to the club after a one-month loan spell at York City.

Defender Racine made five appearances in all competitions for the Minstermen scoring one goal. Front man Murphy also found the net on one occasion in six appearances.
