Pompey winger moves to Swindon on loan

Swindon have signed young winger Matt Ritchie on loan from Portsmouth for the remainder of the season. The Robins were keen to land the 20-year-old on a permanent basis in the winter transfer window but could not conclude a deal in time. Danny Wilson's side have now reached an agreement with the financially-crippled Premier League club to secure Ritchie's services until 15th May. Ritchie spent all of last season on loan with Dagenham & Redbridge before a similar stint with Notts County during the first half of this term. He goes straight into Wilson's plans for Saturday's clash with fellow play-off chasers Huddersfield after linking up with his new team-mates for training on Thursday.
