Swindon manager Maurice Malpas says teenage centre-half Sean Morrison can challenge for a regular starting spot at the County Ground next season.

Malpas made the youngster his man of the match after his home debut in the 2-1 win against Millwall on Saturday.

"Myself and [assistant manager] Dave Byrne were wondering how he'd handle the game," he told BBC Radio Swindon.

"As you can see from his performance, he can handle the build-up because his performance was spot on."

"I hate to say this about young players but he was our best player," admitted Malpas.

"Now he's to go away in the summer and work hard and come back stronger and fitter and push the guys that normally start."
