"I'm really excited to be here, it's happened all quite quickly but excited to start the work for the team," he told the club website.

"It happened pretty quickly when I was told Swindon were interested so I think where I was in my career, it was a move that made sense for me.

"This is an opportunity where after speaking with the Head Coach and the Goalkeeping Coach who have given me the chance to be involved in league football again.

"I want to be pushing for that number one spot in the league."

Head of Football Jamie Russell added: "He's come from Norwich and has experience of playing at Championship level, which is the kind of experience which is vital for the kind of player we're looking for to come into the group.

"What makes Dan even more suited to how we want to set up this season is his mental strength and determination to get back playing and this is shown in the challenges he's faced so far in his career.

"He sets himself a good standard of performance with his showings when he has played at Norwich but also with the likes of Maidstone when he spent time there and we feel he will bring the ideal level of competition for our current goalkeeping set-up.

"We also need to mention the work that our First-Team Goalkeeping Coach Steve Mildenhall (Mildy) has worked tirelessly to get Dan in and he's one that he identified as someone who would be an ideal fit for the kind of goalkeeper we are after to fight for that number one spot."
