GOALKEEPER Archie Matthews has joined Thatcham Town on a month-long loan deal.
The first-year professional signed for Richie Wellens' team in May 2019 alongside Luke Haines, Ralph Graham and Jacob Bancroft, but has since found his path to a starting spot blocked by the more experienced Will Henry, Luke McCormick and loanee Steven Benda.
The 18-year-old will now spend a month in goal for the Southern League Division One South side, filling in for their regular number one, Paul Strudley.
Matthews played in Thatcham's FA Trophy win at Barnstaple Town last weekend and will join his new teammates for their league fixture away at AFC Totton on Saturday.
