SWINDON Town have signed attacking midfielder Ricky Aguiar from Isthmian Premier Division side Worthing on a free transfer.
The 20-year-old arrives at the County Ground with over 80 appearances in senior football to his name and having reached double figures - in terms of goals - during both seasons at the East Sussex outfit.
Aguiar has also won Worthing's manager's and player's player of the year in 2018-19, while he also won the former award again the following season.
Tipped to go on and enjoy a good career in the game, Town have picked Aguiar up as they look to build a strong youth set-up at the County Ground.
Discussing the club's latest signing with the in-house media staff, Town's director of football, Ben Chorley said: "For a 20-year-old, Ricky brings a massive amount of experience in men's football.
"To play in excess of 80 games by the age of 20 at any level is very encouraging, but to do it in the Isthmian league week in and week out is testament to his character.
"We put Ricky in the same bracket signing as Mo Dabre - young, hungry players that we can coach and mould within our first team environment."
Aguiar will wear number 28 while at Swindon.
