The 19-year-old joined the Magpies in 2012 and appeared for the first team during a friendly against Hull City two years ago. The England youth international played 31 times for Newcastle's U21s side last season, scoring three goals, and has also featured in five EFL Trophy matches. His loan move to the County Ground will be his first spell in senior football. Munda told the Swindon website: "I feel like the point where I am in my career now, I'm ready for it. I feel like it's a really good club to be at. We play great football, so I feel like it's a good step for me. "I spoke to the manager, and he liked how athletic I am, how I can get round the pitch and my bit of quality on the ball, so I feel like the conversations I've had have been quite positive."
