Swindon Town have secured the services of former Oldham Athletic defender Rob Hunt after he left Boundary Park, as reported by the BBC.

The 23-year-old had his contract with the Latics terminated on Friday, allowing him to move to fellow League Two side Swindon.

Hunt can play right back or in the centre of defence and made 43 outings in all competitions for Oldham last season. He came through the youth ranks at Brighton and Hove Albion, but after making just one Championship appearance for them he moved to the Latics, firstly on loan and then permanently.

He made 37 appearances for them as they were relegated from League One, giving him a total of 71 league appearances, 67 of which were starts.

He becomes Richie Wellens second signing in four days, following the loan capture of Jerry Yates from Rotherham.

Whilst Robins' supporters seem genuinely happy to have snared the defender, the manner in which they've reported it on Twitter has raised a few eyebrows.

They put out a cringe-worthy tweet which has brought as many comments as the transfer itself, as you'll see below.
