Football News Update: Swindon Town Bolsters Squad with Promotion-Winning Defender
In a move to bolster their squad for the upcoming season, Swindon Town has secured the signing of defender Will Wright from Crawley Town. The announcement comes as the Robins continue to strengthen their roster in preparation for the new campaign.
According to Swindon Town manager Russell, Wright’s acquisition is a key part of the club’s recruitment strategy this summer. “Will played over 40 League Two games last season, and more importantly gained promotion, which is a key area of our recruitment this summer and can be shown with this signing but also Ollie Clarke at the start of this summer transfer window,” Russell stated.
The manager further highlighted Wright’s attributes, noting that the defender not only offers defensive solidity with a promotion-winning mindset but also poses a threat when attacking. “He not only offers defensive solidity with a promotion-winning mindset, but also he is a threat when attacking too, which can be shown by the number of goal involvements he had in Crawley’s last campaign, and we’re really looking forward to seeing him in a Swindon Town shirt soon.”
This latest signing marks the Robins’ fifth acquisition of the summer transfer window, as the club continues to strengthen its squad in preparation for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers, Champions League, FIFA World Cup, Women’s World Cup, and domestic competitions such as the Premier League, EFL Cup, EFL Championship, EFL One, EFL Two, and FA Cup.
