Swindon Town are prioritizing the signing of defenders and wide players in the early stages of the summer transfer window. As of June 25, 2026, the team is looking to strengthen their squad after a 9th place finish in League Two with 75 points, 22 wins, 9 draws, and 15 losses from 46 games.

What are the key positions to fill?

The team is currently lacking natural width and physical defenders, with only three centre-backs in the squad, including Ryan Tafazolli, Filozofe Mabete, and Billy Kirkman.

Why is this transfer window important?

Manager Ian Holloway is looking to work with a smaller squad of around 24 players, rather than the larger group they had last season, which was deemed a mistake internally.

What comes next?

The team will look to sign 5-6 new players, with a focus on defenders and wide players, to improve their chances of success in the upcoming season. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 9th in League Two | | Points | 75 | | Recent form | LLDLW | Swindon Town's last result was a 1-2 loss to Chesterfield on May 2, 2026, and they are 12 points behind leaders Bromley. The team's recent form has been disappointing, with 0 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses in their last 5 games. Ian Holloway is hoping to find the right players to provide balance to the attack, which has been lacking during 2026. The team will also look to add an athletic and physical midfielder, but this is lower down the list of priorities for now.
