Carlisle United's opponents Swindon Town have signed Wales international Jonny Williams ahead of tomorrow's clash with the Blues.

The Robins have signed the 27-year-old midfielder on a free transfer.

Former Charlton, Sunderland and Cardiff man Williams' arrival at the County Ground was confirmed on the eve of Carlisle's visit.

The 28-cap player was in the Wales squad for Euro 2020 and Swindon bosses said they were delighted to have landed him.

"Jonny Williams needs no introduction,” said director of football Ben Chorley on the club website.

“He is a player that has played on the very highest international stage, we’ve been in contact with Jonny for weeks and monitoring his situation. Ben [Garner, head coach] has a relationship with him that spans over 15 years. 

“He really fits into our style of play with his energy, ball manipulation and all-round ability to change games.

“Speaking to him and his partner over the last few days has been a pleasure, they are very humble and very much the type of people we as a football club should be honoured to have.

“We wish Jonny every success with us as we continue to plan and build for the future of this football club.”

Swindon are rebuilding their squad following the recent takeover by Australian businessman Clem Morfuni.
