Defender Zach Ioannides has today joined Southern League Premier South side Basingstoke Town on loan for the remainder of the season

Ioannides, aged 18, currently in Town's U21 side, made his first team debut from the bench in the 4-0 victory over Exeter City in the Vertu Trophy and featured throughout the Premier League Cup campaign for Alex Lawless’ side.

Zach joined the club as an Under-11 and has predominantly featured as a right back, though can also operate in midfield.

Best of luck with the Stokes, Zach!
