Swindon Town Have Signed 20-Year-Old Burnley Forward On Loan

Swindon Town have signed Burnley forward Joe Westley on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old spent a month on loan at National League side Rochdale in October and scored three times in a 13-game loan at fellow National League side AFC Fylde last season.

Westley, who has come up through the Clarets’ academy, has yet to make an appearance for Burnley’s first team.

“Joe is an exciting player that is going to add to our forward utility,” Swindon manager Ian Holloway told the club website, external.

“It’s the skillset he has that I like. He will push all of our forward players to their max and we have such a fantastic group that Joe will be able to integrate straight in.”
