Upon signing his loan deal, Bray said “I’m really looking forward to getting back playing again. I believe that Weston is the perfect place for me as it’s local and they like to play good football. I can’t wait to get started and help out as much as I can”
Manager Marc McGregor said “We are pleased to secure such a great signing until the end of the season. Alex is a quick, direct wide-man who can go past players with ease. Last season, Alex was helping Forest Green secure League Two football and we are lucky to have him. The chairman has worked hard to get this over the line and we are very thankful. We also would like to thank Rotherham with helping. They have been a pleasure to deal with”.
