Swindon re-sign forward Bodin from Burton

Billy Bodin began his career in Swindon's academy

Swindon Town have re-signed winger Billy Bodin on a one-year deal, 13 years after he left the club, following the termination of his contract at Burton Albion.

The 33-year-old came through the Robins' academy from the age of 12 and made 16 appearances, scoring three goals, between 2010 and 2012.

Bodin has played more than 400 games in English football and had been at Burton since the summer of 2024.

"It feels amazing to come back to where it all began. Swindon is a club that means a lot to me, and I'm really excited to get started and play in front of the fans again," he said.

"This club has a huge place in my heart, and that was a big factor in returning, but the manager was a big part of rejoining too.

"The way he wanted me to play, my role in the team, is something that excited me and my reason why I wanted to join."

Bodin is the son of former Swindon left-back and caretaker manager Paul Bodin and won one cap for Wales in 2018.

He spent the second half of last season on loan at Reading, scoring twice in 16 games.

He has also played for Oxford United, Bristol Rovers, Torquay United, Preston, Crewe and Northampton during his career.

He is Swindon's ninth signing of the summer.
