Cheltenham Town have announced their first signing of the summer. Yevoil Town's Kevin Dawson has signed to the Robins on a two year deal.

The 26 year old turned down a contract extension offer from Yeovil and will join the Gloucestershire club at the beginning of July when his contract at Huish Park comes to an end.

He joined Yeovil in 2013 from Shelbourne in Dublin and scored in their League One play-off semi final against Sheffield United, before helping them reach the Championship.

The midfielder made 141 appearances for the Green and Whites scoring nine times.

Meanwhile Yeovil Town FC posted on their website: "everyone at the club would like to thank Kevin for his contribution over the past four years and wish him all the best for the future."
