Daniel Ballard has joined League Two side Swindon Town on loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old is a product of our Hale End academy and has been at the club since he was eight years old.

The young defender signed his first professional contract in June 2018, before signing a new professional contract in May this year.

Daniel made 18 appearances in the Premier League 2 last season, helping us keep seven clean sheets along the way, in addition to being handed the captain’s armband for the first time during the campaign. His fine form also earned him a call up to Northern Ireland’s senior squad last March.

Everyone at Arsenal would like to wish Daniel all the best for his season with Swindon Town.

The deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
