Mathieu Baudry: Swindon Town Captain Signs Two-Year Deal
Defender Remains a Robin
The Robins have secured the services of one of their most influential players this year.
Baudry enjoyed a successful first season at the County Ground, achieving promotion to League One as champions. He will remain with the Robins until June 2022.
The Frenchman had spells in England and in France before ending up with Swindon Town.
He started his career with Le Havre before joining Troyes. The 32-year-old travelled across the English Channel is 2011 to link up with Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth.
After a season with the Cherries, and a loan spell at Dagenham & Redbridge, Baudry signed for Leyton Orient on a permanent deal.
Further moves to Doncaster Rovers and MK Dons followed before he eventually joined Swindon in June 2019.
Baudry made 26 appearances and kept nine clean sheets for Town during the 2019-20 campaign – he captained the Robins for the majority of the season as Dion Conroy remained absent.
After signing a new deal, the Frenchman said: “I’m delighted to sign a new deal with the club, be here for the next two years and try to help build something special.
“This season I’ve seen the potential with the support, that this club has got and it’s unbelievable.
“We need that support next season because it’s going to be tough but we’ve got a great manager and a great staff, and a great core of young players. With your (the fans’) support, anything can happen.
“Personally, I feel like I’ve got a lot more to show than last season so I’m working already to prepare. We’ve seen what can happen to teams that are newly-promoted – teams like Luton, Bournemouth, Wycombe are trying to do it now where they go back-to-back almost.”
