Jon-Paul McGovern joined Swindon Town on Friday 31st August 2007, just hours before the close of the transfer window.

A lively winger who can operate out wide or through the middle, McGovern's arrival is a major boost to Paul Sturrock who had been chasing the player for some time.

The 26-year old was a key cog in Paul Sturrock's Sheffield Wednesday side which won promotion to the Coca-Cola Championship and made over 60 appearances for The Owls during two seasons at Hillsborough.

McGovern began his career as a trainee at Celtic but after one season, he was released by the Scottish giants and subsequently signed for Livingston in July 2003 after a successful loan spell in England with Sheffield United. A promising season for 'Livi' saw Sheffield Wednesday come in for the midfielder who joined Paul Sturrock's squad in time for the start of the 2004/2005 season. He was an ever-present during the promotion winning campaign and scored the first goal at the Millennium Stadium to help secure promotion.

The Glasgow-born midfielder has signed a contract until the close of the 2009/10 season and has already chipped in with valuable goals against Hartlepool United and Gillingham.
