Robins swoop for Dossevi

03 August 2010 16:30
Swindon have completed the signing of Togo international striker Thomas Dossevi on a free transfer following his impressive trial with the club. The 31-year-old has signed a one-year deal at the County Ground after manager Danny Wilson was left more than pleased with what he had seen from the France-born forward during his short stint in Wiltshire. Dossevi shone during training with the Robins and duly grabbed a brace in just 45 minutes during Saturday`s 3-2 friendly triumph over Nottingham Forest. He moves to Swindon having seen his contract at French club Nantes expire and will wear the number 20 shirt vacated by Billy Paynter`s switch to Leeds. Dossevi featured at the 2006 World Cup for Togo and was also a member of their squad for the 2010 African Nations Cup, a tournament which the country withdrew from following a fatal attack on their team coach just days before the start of the competition.
