Thanks to all your purchases in our shop we’ve raised enough funds to sponsor two Swindon Town youth team players, Josh Helm and Mark Francis, for the 2012/13 season.

Josh Helm is a first year scholar and the only goalkeeper in the youth team. 16 year old Josh joined Swindon this summer from Eastleigh having been their reserve team ‘keeper.

Striker Mark Francis is in his second year with Paul Bodin’s side. The 17 year old from Dorset joined Town after missing out on youth deals at Portsmouth and Stoke City. He’s already banging in the goals this season, including being nominated last week for the Football League Youth Alliance Goal of the Month for his strike against Torquay United – vote for Mark before 5pm 19th Sept.

Any money from your future purchases will go into the fund to continue our player sponsorship in 2013/14.
