Anthony Munda completed a season-long loan move to Swindon Town in August to gain first-team football and build on his burgeoning career.
At that time, the club’s official statement said: ‘Newcastle United midfielder Anthony Munda has joined League Two club Swindon Town on loan for the 2026/27 season. Anthony joined United’s Academy at the age of nine in 2012 and has been a regular for the club’s under-21 team in recent years. Progressing through the youth ranks at the Magpies, he made his FA Youth Cup debut aged 15 in December 2022 in a third round match against Charlton Athletic. Anthony Munda, aged 16, made his second start at under-21 level in a Premier League 2 away match against Blackburn Rovers in January 2024, before scoring an impressive stoppage-time equalizer against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Everyone at Newcastle United wishes Anthony all the best for the season ahead.”
