Crewe Alexandra's last-minute January deadline day signing is 'delighted' to join the club - following a loan move from League One.
Sean Robertson signed for Crewe from Forest Green Rovers at around 11:30pm on Tuesday (January 31) - joining until the end of the season.
The attacking right-back joined the Alex soon after homegrown midfielder, Oliver Finney, departed to Hartlepool United on a permanent deal.

Robertson has made three League One appearances for Forest Green this season.
The 21-year-old signed for Rovers last summer in a free permanent switch from Crystal Palace.
Robertson told Crewe Alexandra's website: "I'm delighted to be here, it's a great club to be at, and I'm ready to get going.
"When I was younger, I saw that a lot of Crewe boys would come through, and heard that they like to promote youth.

"So, when I heard about Crewe's interest in me, I was excited and just wanted to get here straight away.
Robertson can play as a wing-back, a winger, or as part of a front three.
The former Premier League U21 player is best known for his versatility and pace.
Robertson said: "I'm direct, I like to run with the ball and get crosses in the box.

"I'm versatile and can play in a few different positions.
"I've learned a lot at Forest Green and I'm keen to carry that on.
"This is 100% the right time for me – I wasn't getting enough game-time unfortunately, so coming here is a great opportunity.
"I'm impressed with the facilities here, and that will enable me to get my head down and work hard."
