Swindon Town have signed experienced midfielder Matty Virtue on a two-year deal. The 29-year-old joins from Fleetwood Town, where he made 89 appearances over two seasons.

What drew Virtue to Swindon Town?

Virtue told the club's website: "Obviously, there's one aim, everyone knows it, and you want to be successful in your football career. The club wants to be successful, so why would I not want to join?"

Current context

The signing's impact
