Josh Low last night told of how the challenge of helping

Cheltenham Town become an established League One club helped

lure him to Whaddon Road.

Low, 29, will undergo a medical at Whaddon Road this morning

and is expected to complete the formalities of his move from

Peterborough United after watching the clash with Leicester

City this afternoon.

And the former Bristol Rovers winger has revealed how

manager Keith Downing persuaded him to agree a two-year deal

after outlining the club's ambitions in a meeting on

Thursday.

He said: "The manager had a chat with me about where he

wants to take the club and his enthusiasm and belief persuaded

me to want to become a part of it.

"I know that it has been a struggle in the last couple of

seasons but everything is here to become an established League

One club.

"Once you achieve that you can build on in and you never

know where you will end up.

"It is a big challenge for everyone but one I am looking

forward to being a part of."

Low had fallen out-of-favour at London Road following the

arrival of manager Darren Ferguson shortly after the wideman

was brought to the club by former boss Keith Alexander.

A move away looked to be scuppered because Low was one of

Posh's top earners, but the lure of regular first-team action

and a return to the West for the Bristol-born star proved too

tempting to turn down.

"I was disappointed with how things ended at Peterborough

but the writing was on the wall for a long time," Low

added.

"I kept my head down and tried to win my place back, but you

would have to ask the manager why I never got a chance.

"These things happen in football, though, and Barry Fry

(Posh director of football) was good to me during my time

there.

"There are no hard feelings and I wish them all the

best.

"I am just focusing on what is a fresh start for me and my

family now."

Downing was 'delighted' at ending his summer-long search for

a right-sided midfielder.

"Josh is a player who still has great potential," said

Downing.

"He needs a fresh challenge and we can give that to

him."

Downing is now expected to step up his attempts to land

Charlton striker Stuart Fleetwood on loan and is also trying to

turn Barry Hayles' temporary move from Leicester into a

permanent arrangement.
