Striker Harry Smith has signed a new deal to stay with Swindon Town until the end of the 2026-27 season.

Smith has not played since August after rupturing his anterior cruciate knee ligament just four league games into the season.

The 30-year-old re-joined the club in 2024 from Sutton, having previously had a spell on loan during 2017, and has scored 18 goals in 49 games during his second stint so far.

"Harry's attitude through what has been a really tough injury has been first-class," manager Ian Holloway told the club website.

"He's shown real resilience, and he's been a massive part of the group even when he hasn't been able to get on the pitch.

"He was our Player of the Season [in 2024-25] for a reason, he had a huge impact on us, and we all believe he can get back to that level again.

"He's a top professional, a great character, and someone the lads really respect. I'm delighted he's staying with us."

Smith is the fourth player to agree new terms with the Robins following the conclusion of the campaign, after goalkeeper Lewis Ward, midfielder Ollie Clarke and centre-back Ryan Tafazolli all extended their stays in Wiltshire.
