Swindon Town's transfer plans have received a boost after trialists impressed Ian Holloway in a 4-1 win over Forest Green Rovers. The quartet of trialists, including Mandela Egbo, Ayman Benarous, Josh Martin, and Zaid Bettaka, have given Holloway a lot to think about when making decisions on which players to bring in.
What happened?
Mandela Egbo impressed Ian Holloway during his Swindon Town trial, but he has since rejoined Chelmsford City, removing him from contention. The trialists were part of a 4-1 win over Forest Green Rovers, with Egbo and Benarous starting the match and performing well.
Why it matters for Swindon Town
The trialists are under heavy consideration to earn a place in the squad, but injuries have altered their transfer plans. Holloway is still looking to make multiple new additions to his squad before the start of the season, in addition to Joseph Hungbo, who joined on loan from Wigan Athletic.
What comes next?
Swindon Town's next fixture is against Grimsby on 27th February 2027, and they will be looking to build on their recent win. Holloway is expected to make decisions on which players to bring in soon, but injuries will continue to be a challenge for the team. Loans are a total possibility for the team, and Holloway is considering all options to strengthen his squad.
