Cheltenham Town manager Keith Downing hopes to loan some youngsters from Aston Villa next season.

Downing loaned Richard Keogh, Alex Russell and Steve Brooker from Bristol City this season and he hopes to achieve a similar link with Villa.

"There's some promising youngsters out there playing that need experience," he told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

"[Academy football] would be no better than getting experience at Cheltenham and seeing some good young talent."
