Alberto Comazzi departs Swindon Town after seven months

Comazzi picked up one red card and two bookings in five games

Alberto Comazzi has left Swindon Town by mutual consent just seven months into a two-year contract.

The Italian defender, 32, arrived in the summer on a free transfer but only played five games for the Robins.

"I'm disappointed because when he came here I thought he could be an important part of the team," manager Paolo di Canio told BBC Wiltshire.

"But it has been tough for him at this level - we didn't know that before we signed him."

Di Canio continued: "I recognised my mistake at the beginning, not because I don't have knowledge in football, but because I didn't know about this level.

"I'm sure he could play two leagues above this league - but in Italy."
