Swindon Town sign Ryan Harley

Swindon Town have announced that they have signed former Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Ryan Harley.

The 28-year-old, who left the Seagulls by mutual consent this week, has put pen to paper on a two-year deal at the County Ground.

"I'm delighted. The lads all seem really bubbly. It's a young squad - one of the youngest I've seen actually but that can be a good thing," Harley told Swindon's official website.

"I know three or four of the lads here that I've played with before. They seem a good bunch and team spirit looks really good. I'm looking forward to it.

"I've played a lot in League One. It's a tough league to get out of. Obviously Swindon came close last year and hopefully we can go one step further this year."

Harley had a loan spell with MK Dons last season and made 11 appearances.
