TAYLOR Curran has completed his switch to Swindon Town from Southend United.

The 18-year-old centre-back makes the switch to the County Ground having failed to make a first team appearance for the Shrimpers.

But Blues boss Chris Powell is hoping the switch will allow the youngster to kick start his career.

“We had the offer from Swindon and we just felt it was the right thing for him,” explained Powell.

“He has a number of defenders in front of him here and he feels he might get game time earlier at Swindon.

"We wish him well and hopefully he can get his career up and running there.”
