Swindon have signed former Tottenham right-back Marcel Lavinier, forwards Luke Jephcott and Rushian Hepburn-Murphy, winger Morgan Roberts and goalkeeper Conor Brann.
Lavinier signs on a free transfer after his contract with Tottenham ended.
The 21-year-old joined Spurs in 2020 after 13 years in Chelsea's academy.
He played 43 times for their development squad and made his only first-team appearance in February 2021 as a substitute in the Europa League.
"I had a really good chat with the manager upon joining the club and this is a really exciting project to be a part of," Lavinier told the club website.
"I knew as soon as I'd spoken to Scott [Lindsay] and his team, this was where I wanted to play my football and it's the ideal place for me to showcase what I can do."
Jephcott signs from Plymouth Argyle on an initial loan, with the option to make it a permanent deal.
The 22-year-old forward has played 103 times for Plymouth, scoring 33 times since joining them in 2018.
"I've seen how Swindon play as well as the goals they score and the chances they create, and I think there is an opportunity for me to do really well here," he said.
Hepburn-Murphy, 23, has been without a club since leaving Cypriot side Pafos at the end of last season.
The striker began his career in Aston Villa's academy and made his first-team debut in 2015 aged 16.
During his five years with Villa he had loan spells with Cambridge United, Tranmere Rovers and Derby County, before moving to the Cyprus First Division in the summer of 2020.
"I really like the way they this team plays football. It really suits me and hopefully I can fit in and get regular games under my belt," Hepburn-Murphy said.
Roberts, 21, joins on a permanent deal from National League North side Banbury where he has scored 10 goals in 27 appearances.
Brann, 19, was a free agent after being released by Galway United in the League of Ireland First Division, having initially joined their academy squad.
