DONE DEAL: Swindon sign Liverpool defender Tom Clayton

Liverpool defender Tom Clayton has completed a permanent transfer to League Two side Swindon Town.

After joining Liverpool's youth set-up as an U9, Clayton – who is comfortable in central positions at the back or in midfield – progressed right up through the ranks in Kirkby.

He broke into the U18s squad under the guidance of Steven Gerrard and then went on to captain the Reds' U23s side more recently, while gaining international recognition for Scotland U21s.

Clayton also skippered the Liverpool team that lifted the Lancashire FA Senior Cup in May.

A popular and respected figure at the Academy, Clayton will now embark on a new challenge in his career with Swindon, who were beaten in League Two's play-off semi-finals last season.
