Malpas hopes to bring in some new faces as pre-season training begins

Swindon manager Maurice Malpas is hoping for some positive transfer news over the next couple of days.

BBC Radio Swindon understands that Malpas has invited former Manchester United player Ritchie Jones to join the Robins squad for pre-season training.

Malpas has made a bid for Wolves defender Charlie Mulgrew but is still awaiting a response.

Malpas told BBC Radio Swindon: "I think it'll liven up as a lot of clubs are back in training now."

He added: "Everybody knows we've put a bid in for a player and we're still waiting to hear from that club. It's a bit frustrating."

"A lot of players who are out of contract, or want to move, are suddenly getting twitchy feet and desperate to get something done."
