Swindon Town's academy staffing structure will change once again, following the appointment of Kirk McGinn as under-18s head coach.

McGinn has succeeded Sean Wood in the role, after Wood left to become under-18s assistant head coach at Reading.

Town tweaked their pathway ranks in October, following the departure of former academy lead Alex Pike.
