Josh Stokes signs on loan to Cambridge United

Josh Stokes is the U's latest club signing for the 2024/25 season.

The 20-year-old attacker joins on a one-year deal from Bristol City, becoming Garry Monk’s 10th signing of the summer transfer window.

Originally a product of the Ipswich Town Academy, Stokes signed with AFC Sudbury as a 17-year-old and soon became a key member of the First Team. 

After two years with the Suds, Stokes move to Aldershot in the National League ahead of the start of the 2023/24 season.

Josh Stokes:

“I am really excited for this opportunity,” Stokes said. “I want to try and make my mark on the team and have a really good season both for myself and the Club.

It’s been a whirlwind few years for me but this is a great chance for me to show what I can do in the EFL. My chats with the Manager have all been really positive and I can’t wait to get going”.

Cambridge United Head Coach Garry Monk:

“Josh is a great young player who has worked extremely hard to progress through the leagues in such a short space of time. To do so takes not only talent, but an outstanding attitude and mindset.

We believe he has high potential and will be a big contributor to the squad this season. I am delighted to welcome him to the Club”.
