JESIONKOWSKI ON TOWN SWITCH

Posted on: Fri 31 Jul 2009

Town's sixth signing of the summer, goalkeeper Jakub Jesionkowski, is looking forward to his English adventure after signing a two-year deal with Swindon.

The goalkeeper put pen to paper on Friday afternoon and impressed boss Danny Wilson during a week-long trial in early July.

Jesionkowski, who has represented the Poland Under-21 team, explained his thoughts in an interview with STFC Player, the club's official online TV service.

"It's great to be at Swindon now," he smiled. "I spent a week here on trial a few weeks back and I went back to Poland, before coming back to England to sign my contract with Swindon today," said the 20-year old.

"I didn't know a lot about Swindon before, but when I heard I was coming over for a trial I did a lot of research on the internet about the club. The stadium is nice and I am really looking forward to the future."

The keeper joins Town from top Polish side Zagłębie Lubin and arrives with tremendous potential.

"I started when I was about six years old and went to a Polish goalkeeper academy. I then moved to one of the best teams in Poland, Zagłębie Lubin, where I stayed until leaving for Swindon."

The stopper is hoping to make a big impression during his time in Wiltshire and is hoping to break into the first team during his tenure at The County Ground.

"I'm coming to Swindon to fight for the number one shirt and I am looking forward to it very much."
