Swindon boss Danny Wilson has expressed his delight at adding goalkeeping coach George Wood to his backroom staff.

The former Arsenal and Everton man has already worked under Wilson at Hartlepool, and the 56-year-old spent three seasons at Victoria Park.

Wood, who made over 750 appearances during his playing career, will link up with the Robins when pre-season begins at the end of the month.

Wilson told the club's official website: "George's pedigree is second to none and he has gained a huge amount of respect since making the move into coaching.

"He will command a lot of respect from the players and we are looking forward to working with him at Swindon.

"There are three keepers for him to work with and he is a fantastic coach to bring the goalkeepers on. Those that work with him will enjoy it."
