Ex-Championship player among pre-season trialists at Swindon Town
Four trialists were included in Town's squad for their behind-closed-doors friendly against Reading on Tuesday, one of whom was Raheem Conte as reported by The Moonraker.
The 22-year-old made five appearances for Cardiff in the Championship and EFL Cup, and spent the first half of last season out on loan at National League side Woking last season.
He has played at both wing-back and full-back in his career so far, while also being utilised in midfield during his time at Woking.
Southall defender Cerny Ando also featured against Reading, having already made a brief appearance for Town in the 4-0 win at Melksham Town last weekend.
The other two trialists in Tuesday's squad, a striker and a left-back, are understood to have been part of the side that played against Swindon's first-team squad in training last week.
Swindon were defeated 2-1 by Reading in the extended 120-minute match as Ian Holloway looks to increase the workload on his players in preparation for their League Two campaign, which gets underway in less than three weeks.

🎥 Forget Amel Majri, here are 3️⃣ of the worst penalties in history 🥶
People are still wondering what they were trying to do. On Saturday night, Amel Majri made headlines with her unusual run-up during her missed penalty against Germany in the Euro quarter-final. But the midfielder can rest assured, there have been far worse before her. We've compiled three of the worst penalties in football history for you to enjoy. 3 - Conor Gallagher (Chelsea) Sometimes friendly matches end with penalty shootouts. With nothing at stake, Conor Gallagher decided to entertain the crowd with one of the softest penalties in history. 2 - Robert Pirès (Arsenal) The most famous penalty in the Premier League is a failed attempt. At the same time, Robert Pirès and Thierry Henry made quite an impression that day. 1- Simone Zaza (Italy) Poor Simone Zaza will remember it for the rest of his life. Not only because he missed a penalty that contributed to Italy's elimination in the Euro quarter-final, but also because his bizarre run-up was replayed endlessly on social media for months. Legendary. Which one do you think is the worst of the three? This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
