Swindon defender Joel McGregor has signed a new contract with the club until 2027.

The 19-year-old former academy player, who has been with the Robins from the under-12 age ranks, made his first-team league debut in April 2024.

He progressed to a more regular role this campaign, making 24 appearances in all competitions.

"The manager, Ian Holloway, has had a huge effect on all the players and the energy around the club this year," McGregor said in a club statement.

"Everyone is really positive about the future and getting the chance to learn under him for the next few years played a big part in me g my contract extension at the club."

Swindon Town ended the 2024-25 season in 12th place in the League Two table.
