The new-look Swindon Town will step out for their first pre-season friendly on Saturday (July 5), but don’t expect to see ‘A Trialist’ anywhere on their teamsheet.

The Robins take on Swindon Supermarine in their traditional friendly opener at the Webbs Wood Stadium, with the game providing the stage for several new signings to introduce themselves to supporters.

James Ball, Darren Oldaker, Filozofe Mabete, Joe Snowdon, Lewis Ward and Jake Tabor are all set to feature.
