Swindon Town have completed the signing of forward Antwoine Hackford from AFC Wimbledon on a two-year deal.

The 22-year-old arrives at the Robins for an undisclosed fee after scoring six goals in his only full season at Plough Lane and becomes manager Ian Holloway's 10th incoming signing of the summer transfer window.

He started his career at Sheffield United, enjoying loan spells at Alfreton Town, Burton Albion and Port Vale, before his permanent switch to AFC Wimbledon last summer.

Hackford helped Vale gain promotion to League One during his loan spell at the club and has now been reunited with former team-mates Mitch Clark and Connor Ripley at the County Ground.

"I want to bring excitement and goals and help bring the club where it should be, higher than League Two," he told the Swindon website. "The gaffer had been in touch over the last couple of days and what he was telling me made it an easy decision. His expectations, what he wants from me, it was a no-brainer.

"I was with a couple of lads at Port Vale, so I already have that connection with them. It definitely helps because I've been at clubs before where you don't know anyone, so having that here, it will help to settle in quickly."
