Swindon Town have signed Arsenal midfielder Matt Smith on a season-long loan.

The 19-year-old was recently named on the bench for Arsenal's FA Cup final win against Chelsea two weeks ago - where he took home a winners medal despite not making a first-team appearance.

He caught the eye of Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and was been named on the first-team bench 6 times last season.

Smith said: "I'm very excited. I feel like it will be a good experience for me and I'm looking forward to starting the season."

"I feel like I'm going to learn a lot off the manager. He's pretty similar to Mikel Arteta, they're both very encouraging. The gaffer has made me feel welcome and I feel the qualities I have can match the way he wants to play."
