Coming through the ranks of the Aston Villa academy, McKirdy has played for a host of EFL clubs including Stevenage, Crewe, Newport, Carlisle, and most recently Port Vale, but has struggled to fulfil his potential.

Speaking to the Swindon Town official website, Director of Football Ben Chorley said:

"Harry has worked very hard over the last few weeks with us, his attitude in both training and across all three preseason games has been fantastic.

"Harry has a wealth of experience in League One and Two, and he can play many different roles within our team.

"We look forward to working with Harry and wish him all the best during this upcoming season."

His versatility across the forward line and his eye for goal have been clear for all to see over the last few weeks, and we look forward to watching Harry realise his huge potential at SN1 in the coming season,” he said.

McKirdy becomes the sixth player to arrive at the County Ground since Clem Morfuni’s takeover and is expected to be included in the side for this weekend’s season opener against Scunthorpe.
