| Khan is a young verstaile defender who joined City on a one month loan spell from Conference North neighbours Worcester City at the start of December, a time when Gloucester desperately need to find some defensive confidence after consecutive 5-2 and 4-1 home defeats. Along with fellow loan signing Ollie Barnes of Bristol Rovers Khan will provide the club with crucial cover as Lyndon Tomkins recovers from a hamstring problem and fellow Tigers' stopper Tom Hamblin misses some games over the Christmas period due to work commitments. The Worcester University student is a regular member of the Worcester first team squad but after some impressive performances earlier this season he has struggled to get a regular spot since recovering from a lung infection. | |

Khan has progressed through the Worcester City youth team to make his first team debut more than two years ago. Can play anywhere at the back but seems most comfortable as defensviely minded full-back. Had a highly succesful and plaudit laden youth career but has found it harder to nail down a regular spot in the first team at Worcester where he has regularly captained the reserve side. Will hope to have more of an impact with us than fellow Worcester graduate Troy Wood after the young striker concluded a disappointing period on loan at Meadow Park a few weeks ago. Khan will write himself a quick footnote in Gloucester City history as he is set to be the first Asian to play for the Tigers. |
