We’re delighted to announce the signing of Raphael Araoye who joins on loan from Bristol City until the end of January.

The 19-year-old defender has been at Ashton Gate since joining as an Under-11.

In August 2022, Araoye signed his first professional contract, penning a three-year deal after appearing in friendlies against Exeter City and AFC Bournemouth. He has since appeared on the bench for a number of first-team fixtures.

Last term, Raphael spent time at Weston-super-Mare in the National League South, gaining valuable experience and game time.
