Kevin Amankwaah is keen to start a new chapter in his career after completing his switch from Swansea City to Swindon Town.
The 26-year-old former Bristol City and Yeovil Town forward had grown frustrated at his lack of first-team opportunities at the Liberty Stadium and welcomes the chance to shine with the Robins.
He told Town's official website: "I'm obviously sad to leave Swansea, but both myself and the manager (Roberto Martinez), felt it was in the best interests of both parties that I had a new challenge.
"My first-team chances were limited last season and I didn't want the same thing to happen again next season. I could have sat in the stands and just picked up my wages, but I want to play football.
"I came to Swansea looking to play, but although I made quite a few appearances in my first season it just hasn't worked out. Every player gets a blip in their career and I hope I can find my best form again at Swindon.
"I feel I'm going to a good club. They're looking to build something special there and hopefully I can play a big part.''
