A big voice, an eye for a pass and an improvement in the air: What Swindon Town fans can expect from Connor Ripley

SCOUTING REPORT: No League Two goalkeeper has better long-ball accuracy than Ripley's 47.6 per cent this season. This is a particularly useful asset given Swindon’s success going direct to Harry Smith.

Swindon Town have a new senior goalkeeper, so… what will Connor Ripley bring to Ian Holloway’s squad?

Ripley has been signed on a short-term contact until the end of the season, with his previous deal at Vale cancelled before he signed for Swindon. As such, he will be playing for his longer-term future at the County Ground.

There is uncertainty over his departure from Vale Park, with speculation in the Potteries suggesting a disagreement took place between the goalkeeper and Valiants head coach Darren Moore towards the end of last year.
