The 2021-22 campaign saw Swindon Town achieve a dramatic play-off spot, finishing 6th in League Two in their first season back after relegation. The season was defined by the phenomenal form of talismanic striker Harry McKirdy, whose 20 goals won him the division's Golden Boot and anchored an attack built on flair and new hope under manager Ben Garner and new owner Clem Morfuni. Despite the ultimate heartbreak of a penalty shootout defeat in the play-off semi-finals to Port Vale, the spirited campaign, which also featured a memorable FA Cup tie against Manchester City, marked a vital year of genuine resurgence and remains a defining chapter for the Robins.
