Swindon Town head coach Ben Garner has heaped praise on Black Stars goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott following his impressive performance for the club this season.

The 25-year-old, who his debut for Ghana in 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Zimbabwe, has made 11 appearances for the EFL League Two side so far this season.

Wollacott was on the bench after the international break as the Reds secured a 2-1 win over Sutton United.

"Jojo Wollacott had been away but he’s done ever so well this season," said Ben Garner.

"He had gone away, won two caps for his country and massive recognition for him for that. He came back in with us last Friday and I didn’t feel comfortable with putting a player back in the team with just one day’s training, and Lewis Ward had done so well.

"It was a tough decision, Lewis Ward deserved to stay in the team, Jojo Wollacott deserved to go back in and I’m very fortunate to have two wonderful goalkeepers regardless of the headaches that gives me," he concluded.
