BUOYED by a hat-trick against Cheltenham Town, Fabien Robert is ready to hit the ground running against Braintree Town.

A free agent in the summer after leaving Swindon Town, the former

Lorient midfielder trialled at Coventry City, but missed a large chunk of pre-season training when joining Rovers days before the National League opener last month.

However, the 27-year-old has trained dilligently with fitness coach Tom Huelin, and is now hitting his straps.

Watch Fabien Robert now.
