Cheltenham Town have signed young West Bromwich Albion midfielder Finn Azaz and ex-Brighton & Hove Albion defender Lewis Freestone.

Birmingham-born Azaz, 19, has joined the League Two club on loan, while the terms of 20-year-old Freestone's signing have not been revealed.

The ex-Peterborough man was without a club after leaving Brighton following a season in their under-23 squad.

Cheltenham's first summer signing was striker Andy Williams on Wednesday.

Azaz, who has been attached to Albion since the age of nine, has never made a first-team appearance for the Baggies, but has made six Leasing.com Trophy appearances for their under-21s.

Freestone, who made the first of his eight League One appearances for Peterborough in April 2017, has since spent time in non-league with Cambridge City, St Albans City, Guiseley, Nuneaton Borough and Bedford Town. He moved to Brighton last summer following his release by Posh.
