Swindon Town are set to start pre-season with a nearly clean bill of health, after an injury-hit campaign. The team finished 9th in League Two, with 75 points from 46 games, and a recent form of LLDLW.

What happened to key players?

Harry Smith is not expected to be fully ready for pre-season, as he continues to recover from an anterior cruciate ligament injury. He suffered a setback and is now expected to return to action at the end of August.

Recovery progress

Ollie Clarke, on the other hand, has recovered from a calf injury and has been working with Back2Action to get himself into good shape. Gavin Kilkenny, who missed the final five games of the season with a knee injury, is set to be ready for the start of pre-season.

Pre-season expectations

Paul Glatzel, who ruptured his hamstring tendon in December, has been back on the grass since April and will hope to step up his recovery once the players return to Beversbrook. The team will be looking to improve on their 9th place finish in League Two, and a strong pre-season will be key in achieving this goal.

As of June 26, 2026, Swindon Town are 12 points behind leaders Bromley, and will be looking to close the gap in the upcoming season. Their last result was a 1-2 loss to Chesterfield on May 2, 2026, and they will be hoping to turn their form around in the new season.
