Swindon Town do not need to sell or release more players during the January window, despite manager Ian Holloway stating the club are “over budget”.
Holloway made the comment at his pre-match press conference ahead of the trip to Accrington Stanley, when quizzed about the departure of wing-back Jeff King this week.
King has moved to York City just three months after signing a contract in Wiltshire, with Swindon agreeing to cancel his deal at the County Ground in order to facilitate the move.
The defender had endured a difficult time at Town, following the death of his mother in September. He spent two spells away from the club on compassionate leave, and a switch to York will allow him to be considerably closer to his family.
