Ex-Championship player among pre-season trialists at Swindon Town
A former Cardiff city wing-back was among the new faces to be given an outing in Swindon Town's latest fixture.
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.
