Michael Flynn: Swindon Town manager agrees contract extension

Michael Flynn has guided Swindon to six wins, five draws and four losses so far this League Two campaign

Swindon Town boss Michael Flynn has signed a contract extension with the League Two club to run until the end of the 2025-26 season.

The 43-year-old was appointed manager at the end of last season on a two-year-deal after former Chelsea coach Jody Morris was sacked.

He guided the Robins to an impressive nine-game unbeaten run to start his first full campaign in charge.

Assistant manager Wayne Hatswell has also signed a contract extension.

"Today is about securing our future with the club and looking to build on the successful start we've made so far," Flynn said in a statement.

"While we will always take learnings from disappointing moments, we are laser-focused to live in the moment and enjoy the challenges that this journey will bring.

"One thing is for sure - we cannot do this alone.

"It is the Swindon Town support that defines us as a football club and we can't wait to work with you for a few more years to deliver the success that we know we as a football club are capable of!"

Flynn was previously in charge of fellow League Two side Wallsall and before that enjoyed success with Newport County during a four-year spell.

Swindon chairman Clem Morfuni believes Flynn and Hatswell have the leadership skills to produce sustained success at the County Ground.

"Their commitment, hard work and the overall exciting style of play they have been insistent on bringing to the club since their arrival in the summer, makes them a perfect match for Swindon and our supporters," he said.

"We are delighted to be able to continue our journey with Michael and Wayne as they look to continue leading our team on the pitch."
