Benn Ward: Swindon Town sign Burnley defender on season-long loan

League Two Swindon Town have signed Burnley defender Benn Ward on a season-long loan, subject to EFL approval.

Ward moved to Burnley in January 2021, where he signed his first professional contract the following year.

He is Town's seventh signing of the season, joining Murphy Mahoney, Dan Kemp, Liam Kinsella, Jake Young, Udoka Godwin-Malife and Tariq Uwakwe.

Although regarded as a centre-back, Benn can also play left-back and in midfield, which adds to his versatility.
