On-loan Charlton Athletic midfielder Dean Sinclair has agreed to extend his stay at Cheltenham for a third month.The extension will take the agreement up to the maximum 93-day period allowed under Football League rules and means he must return to parent club Charlton on January 5.

Sinclair's last game for the Robins could potentially be their away clash at Leeds on the same day, although that will depend on other FA Cup fixtures.

Cheltenham manager Keith Downing said: "I'm really pleased that we've been able to extend Dean's loan for a third month. His performances have been really important for us and he has done exceptionally well in the time he has been here.

"He has great energy, he breaks into the box and he can grab a goal or two. He is a very powerful runner with or without the ball.

"It will also be important to have him with us over the Christmas and new year period when we have a lot of games."
