Club career

Early career

Iandolo played for the Maidstone-based academy side Soccer Elite FA (SEFA), for whom he was playing against Gillingham which led to him being picked up by Kent's only Football League club.[3] After being released in 2012 by The Gills, Iandolo returned to SEFA and in the summer of 2013 Iandolo became a Soccer Elite FA Scholar, combining full-time study with daily training with SEFA Scholarship coaches Lee Spiller and Andy Hessenthaler. He signed for Maidstone United in July 2014.[4]

Swindon Town

In July 2015, Iandolo impressed playing for the SEFA Scholars against Swindon Town's under 18s. The Robins duly offered him a trial and in August Iandolo was offered a one-year professional contract.[5] Iandolo became the third SEFA Scholar to become a professional within the space of a year, following in the footsteps of Aaron Simpson (Wolverhampton Wanderers) and Kaiyne Woolery (Bolton Wanderers).

Iandolo made his professional debut on 1 September 2015 in the Football League Trophy fixture away to Newport County.[6][7] He scored his first goal for Swindon in an EFL Trophy tie against Luton Town on 6 December 2016.[8]
