Yeovil have signed centre-back Dan Ellison on a permanent deal from League Two Bristol Rovers on a deal until the summer of 2027.
The 20-year-old has made two appearances in the EFL Trophy for the Gas this campaign and has previously had a loan spell at Aldershot, where he played 23 games during 2024-25.
The 19-year-old has a season-long deal at the Memorial Stadium and has played 38 times in all competitions for Argyle during his career.
"Freddie's been here since eight, nine years old, and Freddie's probably always been viewed as the young player, the academy product, the star boy coming through," Cleverley said.
"You can get wrapped in bubble wrap a little bit. Freddie's out there now, he's got to go prove to a manager, he's got to go knock on a manager's door and say 'why am I not playing? What have I got to do to do that?'
"He's got to do that. He's got to come on and be reliable if they need a goal. It's all a big part of Freddie's learning. Not every loan move is the perfect loan move.
"I have no reservations about sending a player somewhere where it's going to be tougher."
