Swindon Town have signed centre-back Stephan Negru on a two-year deal following his departure from Oxford United this summer. The 23-year-old made 21 appearances for the U's after signing for them in December 2022.
What does this mean for Swindon Town?
Negru's signing is a significant boost to the team's defence, with manager Ian Holloway praising his combative style and ability to play centrally, on the right side, or on the left side of defence.
Why is this signing important?
As of the end of the 2025-2026 season, Swindon Town are currently 9th in England League Two, with 75 points from 46 games, and a recent form of LLDLW. Their last result was a 1-2 loss to Chesterfield on 2026-05-02.
