Paolo Di Canio today made his first two signings, ahead of the new season:
Joe Devera, a full-back with over 170 appearances for Barnet and Jonathan Smith, a highly rated non-league midfielder formerly at Forest Green Rovers and York City, agreed terms to become Swindon Town players for the 2011-12 season.
Both players are young, hungry and tall - both tower at over 6ft, so should pose problems for opposing defences at set-pieces next season!
Fans of Barnet and York City have been glowing in their references of their former players, so it looks as if Paolo has got in two good players. Maybe not the most jaw-dropping of signings, but they sound like grafters, and a good work ethic is worth far more than anything else on a football pitch.
Rumours are that Paolo is also interested in Newport County's Danny Rose and Luton Town players Robbie Wilmott, Matthew Barnes-Homer, Jake Howells and Amauri Morgan-Smith.
Welcome to The County Ground, Joe and Jonathan!
