Swindon Town have bolstered their ranks with the arrival of Darren Oldaker following his release by Chesterfield.

Oldaker arrives at the County Ground on a two-year contract to challenge for a place at the heart of the Robins' midfield.

The 26-year-old spent three successful years in Derbyshire, securing promotion to the EFL with the Spireites in 2023/24.

He was reportedly the subject of interest from Notts County and former club Gillingham, but has opted for a switch to Wiltshire.
