Marlon Jackson has agreed a one-month loan switch to Aldershot Town.

The 18-year-old striker links up with the League Two side in time for Saturday's away trip to Tranmere Rovers.

Manager Gary Johnson told bcfc.co.uk: "He's done well in the reserves recently and Aldershot watched his recent game against Southampton.

"They were keen to take him for a month and we spoke to Marlon about it. He's very much got a future with us and this is just a month's loan initially.

"We took him to West Brom last week as part of the matchday squad to give him some experience but there's nothing quite like playing league football, and that's what this move offers him.

"Like with all our loaned out players, we'll watch him and see how he gets on, then review it in a month's time."

Marlon enjoyed a one-month loan stint at Hereford United earlier this season.
