Football News Update: Swindon Town Bolster Defensive Ranks with Signing of Former Chesterfield Star
In a significant move for League Two side Swindon Town, the club has announced the signing of former Chesterfield defender Jeff King following a successful trial period. The 28-year-old, who made over 100 appearances for the Spireites across three seasons and found the back of the net 13 times, has joined the Robins after playing a crucial role in Chesterfield’s National League title triumph last term.
“I feel like I’ve got a bit more to give, I’ve worked really hard to get to where I am today and I’m really hoping I can do it with Swindon.”
The Swindon Town faithful will be eagerly anticipating King’s potential debut, as the club prepares to face his former team, Chesterfield, in their opening League Two fixture on Friday. This fixture could provide a quick reunion for the defender with his former teammates and supporters.
Swindon Town have not disclosed the length of King’s contract, but this addition is expected to bolster their defensive options as they aim to mount a strong challenge in the upcoming EFL League Two campaign.
