WOKING player of the season John Goddard has joined League One club Swindon Town after two years at Kingfield.
Sources close to the club believe the figure to be in the region £70,000, with the 22-year-old talent opting for the County Ground – a two-division leap from The National League – amid rumoured interest from Championship clubs.
That figure could rise under the terms of the transfer, which will also see the Wiltshire club come to Surrey for a pre-season friendly in July.
Former Reading academy graduate Goddard – currently enjoying a deserved holiday – took to social media to send his gratitude to his old club. He said: “I look forward to the next step in my career but will not forget the help and support you have given me.
“I wish everyone involved at the club all the best, and will be cheering you on from a distance.”
