REVELL LINKS UP WITH TOWN

Posted on: Tue 01 Sep 2009

Swindon Town have completed the loan signing of Southend United striker Alex Revell until Sunday 3rd January 2010.

The front man played seventy minutes at The County Ground on Saturday for the Blues and trained with The Robins for the first time on Tuesday.

Revell joined Southend from Brighton & Hove Albion for £150,000 in January 2008.

Southend manager Steve Tilson had made no secret of the fact he had been looking for new recruits up front, as Revell put pen to paper on a two-and-half year contract.

The 6'3 striker began his career at Cambridge United, but having dropped down to Non-League football, it was at Braintree Town where he really made a name for himself.

He scored 36 goals to help Braintree win the Ryman Premier title; a prolific record which helped earn him a move to Brighton in July 2006.

At Brighton, Revell scored 18 goals in 59 starts, but his progress at Southend was hit last season, after he broke his leg at Leyton Orient in January 2009.

Revell has since made a full recovery though and has made five League One appearances so far this term.

He will wear squad number 31.
