“There is no secret ingredient. If you eradicate errors and run hard most teams can’t live with you.”
Ollie Clarke knows a thing or two about securing promotion from League Two, and Swindon Town’s new midfielder has emphasised that hard work and good structure are the most necessary characteristics of a successful side at this level.
Clarke arrived for an undisclosed fee from Mansfield Town earlier this month, bringing with him experience of two promotions out of the fourth tier – with the Stags last season and Bristol Rovers in 2015/16.
At 31 years old, and with 370 EFL appearances to his name, he has the credentials to comment on the challenge at hand as Town target a top-seven finish after two seasons of miserable decline at the County Ground.
