Whalley Signs For Swindon

The 30-year-old midfielder, who was released by The Latics at the end of last season, has opted for a move to The Robins despite late interest for his signature from Grimsby Town.

"Its nice to finally be back in training as most clubs started back a week and a half ago," Whalley told the official Swindon website.

"I spent most of last week sorting out the move and I'm looking forward to getting things started. There were a few clubs interested but I know Swindon want to play football and it felt right to come here.

"I am a creative player and want to try and get the ball forward as much as I can. If we can get our passing game going we could cause a few problems in this division,"
