Swindon Town Confirm Anthony Grant and Taylor Curran Sign New Deals<\/h2>\n

Grant Commits to a One-Year Deal<\/h3>\n

Central midfielder Grant has signed a new one-year deal a one-year deal at the County Ground.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old was a vital part of Richie Wellens’ side last season. He made 30 appearances for the Robins, as they were promoted to League One as champions.<\/p>\n

His performances last year for Swindon saw him earn the club’s Player of the Season trophy too. As a result, he has been rewarded with a new deal.<\/p>\n

Speaking about extending his stay at the County Ground, Grant said<\/a>: “I\u2019m excited, it\u2019s been a few weeks but the gaffer knew that he had my word and now I\u2019ve signed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was always going to come back. I\u2019ve had some time to relax, spent some time with the family, so there were other elements, but I was always coming back. The fans have been patient, the management team have been patient, and I\u2019m happy I\u2019ve come through the door again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Curran Commits to a Longer Deal<\/h3>\n

Grant’s Swindon team-mate Taylor Curran<\/a> has signed a new three-year deal, meaning he will remaining at the County Ground until 2023.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old is yet to become a first-team regular for Swindon. He has made just four appearances in total after joining from Southend United in 2018.<\/p>\n

However, he is now hoping that he can push on and make an impression on his manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m obviously delighted. At first it was a scary environment, coming into a first-team but since I\u2019ve been here the players and the staff have been great and looked after me,” he said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here for a while so hopefully I can push on and really get some game time and start playing in front of the fans more often.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason I decided to sign a new contract is the opportunity given at the club. Just training with the older, more experienced boys, it\u2019s brought my game on loads and that was the selling factor.\u201d<\/p>\n
