Forest Green Rovers midfielder Liam Sercombe has joined National League South side Weston-super-Mare on loan.
The 33-year-old has made just one appearance under new Rovers boss Robbie Savage this season, coming on at half-time in the National League Cup defeat to West Bromwich Albion Under-21s.
The attacking midfielder was a prominent part of last season’s third-placed finish under Steve Cotterill in the National League, and the subsequent play-off semi-final against Southend United, in which he missed the vital penalty in the shoot-out.
The 35-year-old made 35 league appearances for Forest Green last season, which totalled his career up to 621 league appearances for the likes of Cheltenham Town, Bristol Rovers, Oxford United, and Exeter City, where he started his career.
Weston sit second in the National League South, but they have two games in hand on the leaders Hornchurch and they sit six points off top spot.
Scott Rogers has recently taken over from Scott Bartlett as manager of the Seagulls after the latter stepped up to take charge of National League club Eastleigh.
Sercombe will link up with Weston ahead of their FA Trophy fixture away at Chippenham this weekend.
