Ryan Seager trained with Cheltenham Town in early January before signing for Tuesday night's opponents Yeovil Town.
The striker joined his hometown club from Southampton on a free transfer on January 29, making his debut in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Stevenage having appeared for the Glovers on loan during the second half of last term.
The 22-year-old joined Dutch club Telstar on a season-long loan in August but was recalled by Saints, enabling him to move elsewhere.
Robins boss Michael Duff had a look at him, but did not follow-up his interest, instead bringing in Billy Waters and Rakish Bingham to strengthen his forward options in the transfer window.
Seager, who has also appeared on loan for Crewe Alexandra and MK Dons, is now likely to line up against Cheltenham at the Jonny-Rocks Stadium along with defender Craig Alcock, who was released by Cheltenham last month and rejoined Yeovil on Friday.
Ex-Robins youth team player Courtney Duffus is on loan at Yeovil from Oldham Athletic.
