Olakigbe heads to Swindon Town on loan | OneFootball

Brentford B forward Michael Olakigbe has completed a loan move to Sky Bet League Two side Swindon Town until the end of the 2025/26 campaign, subject to EFL, FA and Premier League approval.

Olakigbe will join the Robins who are competing at the top end of the table, with recent form seeing them win four of their previous five fixtures.

Olakigbe joins with previous EFL experience, having spent time on loan with Wigan Athletic and Chesterfield last season.

The 21-year-old has continued his progression this season, finding the net in away fixtures against Colchester United and Crewe Alexandra.

Speaking about the loan move, Brentford B head coach Sam Saunders said: "Michael is still very early in his career but has already had valuable exposure to senior football.

"This loan gives him another opportunity to show what he is capable of within a competitive, ambitious team environment.

"We know his qualities, and this next step at Swindon working under an experienced manager will be important in his development both on and off the pitch.”

Olakigbe is the latest B-team player to head out on loan following Iwan Morgan's move to Shrewsbury Town earlier this week.
