[Sippo]

Was confirmed on RS this morning.

Did they confrim as well he wont join till the end of the season?

Seems bizarre, surely they want him here to get his fitness levels up as quickly as possible, especially given the comment Ward at Col U made suggesting he would be in their match day squad this weekend!

The 21-year-old held talks with both clubs this week before opting for Swindon, although he could yet return to Alfreton on loan for the rest of the season.

"Aden has chosen Swindon," said Reds chairman Wayne Bradley.

"We are now in negotiations to see if we can get him back for the remainder of the season."

Good news. Now we need to get Stewart Yetton from Truro to replace Charlie.

Good news. Now we need to get Stewart Yetton from Truro to replace Charlie.

I spoke about him 3 years ago but the idea wasnt well recieved at the time.

While I was in hospital last year I was in a bed next to the Chairman of Bridgwater Town.

He recommended a player to me that his team played recently, so I had a delve and I think this chap may be worth a punt for any league club.

I popped over to see him when they Chard Town in August, he scored 3 in an 8-0 win and was head and shoulders above the rest of the players by miles.

An astonishing record....72 league and cup goals last season for Truro City, is still only 23.

21 goals in 18 games so far this season.
72 goals in 47 starts last season.
28 goals in 27 starts the season before.

Has scored around another 70 goals in the 3 years since then.

And is still only 25 with 212 goals in 219 games!

JJ. I have been following Truro's fortunes for a few years, oweing to an ex-flame! They have really risen through the ranks, topping Southern Premier with Salisbury in hot pursuit, so Conference South beckons. Would be great to see a Cornish side in the football league. Yetton, or the 'Yetti' as he's known would be a speculative acquisition, but certainly worth a punt. I mean, what would he cost, £50,000 max? Are you listening Danny Wilson, before someone like Torquay nab him!
