SWINDON Town boss Dave Flitcroft is pursuing his policy of adding experience to his young squad by making James Dunne his second signing of the summer.

Dunne is a tough-tackling central midfielder who has racked up more than 250 professional appearances for the likes of Exeter, Stevenage, St Johnstone, Portsmouth and Cambridge United.

Last week's first signing, centre back Chris Robertson, has played more than 300 games.

Dunne, 27, has spent the last two seasons at League Two rivals Cambridge United and has put pen to paper on a two-year deal at the County Ground.

“I’m delighted to have signed,” Dunne told swindontownfc.co.uk.

“I spoke to the gaffer last week and what he plans to do with the club is what attracted me here, so I’m glad to get it over the line.

“Having played against the gaffer’s teams quite a bit and knowing how he wants to get out of this league was the main attraction for me.

“I’ve played at The County Ground quite a few times, I’ve played when it’s been rocking so I’m looking forward to playing here.

“Hopefully we can win the games, get the crowd behind us and get promotion.”

Dunne was a regular for Cambridge in the Sky Bet League Two last term and he went on to explain what Town fans can expect from him.

“I like tackling and getting on the ball and trying to make us play,” he added.

“I can play and get on the ball, but I also like the nastier side of football which is the tackling and getting to the second balls. I’m looking forward to it.”
