Swindon have signed midfielder Joe Snowdon on a one-year deal following his release from Leeds United.

The 20-year-old played 12 games for the Whites' Under-21 squad in the Premier League 2 last season, scoring four goals, but did not make a first-team appearance.

Snowdon began his career in Manchester City's academy, before joining Leeds in 2020.

"Ian [Holloway] rang me a bit out of the blue, I was really taken aback by how he spoke. He made me feel welcome even before I got here and made me feel part of his plans and that's the reason why I'm here," he told BBC Radio Wiltshire.

"That's why I've come here, I want to play football in a first team and prove to others that I can do it."

Snowdon is the Robins' fourth signing this summer, following midfielder Darren Oldaker, forward Tom Nichols and midfielder James Ball.
