Simpkins, a regular in the reserves and a veteran of two LDV Cup games this season is way down the pecking order for the first team.
He will be in Cheltenhams Towns sqaud for their Boxing Day clash with Crewe. He can also play for the Robins in the FA Cup. He will not play though against Cardiff City when Cheltenham visit Ninian Park in January.
Good luck to a successful loan period.
