Ty Belford departs Swindon Town to join Southport
Swindon Town goalkeeper Tyrell Belford has today joined Vanarama National League side Southport on a season long loan.
The Town stopper, who last season played understudy to Chilean Lawrence Vigouroux, has joined the Sandgrounders in order to increase his chances of first team football.
Southport Football Club announced the deal via their official website today, confirming Belford will be spending the duration of the 2016/17 season in Merseyside.

The move will see a return to old territory for Belford, who plyed his trade in the Liverpool Football Club academy system before making the move to the County Ground back in 2013.
Belford's temporary departure means Swindon Town are light in the goalkeeping department.
Though a permanent move for last season's loanee Lawrence Vigouroux is on the brink of completion, the club currently have only youth starlet Will Henry as the most senior goalkeeper in the squad.
Southport manager Andy Bishop told Southport's official website: "I'm delighted to have signed Ty Belford and I've been working on the deal for some time.
"I've followed his career since he was at Liverpool and watched his progress at Swindon. Ty has made appearances in League 1 and fought for the number 1 spot. I've been working hard in this area to find the right man and believe Ty is that person.
"He's on a season long loan but I see him as our player because there's no recall clause. I'd like to thank Swindon for all their help getting the deal done," Bishop added.
