Responsibility for Swindon Town pathways to move from Gavin Gunning to David Carney as part of backroom staff shakeup

The extent of Gunning's involvement in the pathways was never made clear, but club sources have now indicated to The Moonraker that those responsibilities will be passed on for the upcoming campaign.

Gavin Gunning will drop any responsibilities relating to Swindon Town’s pathways within his remit as assistant manager.

Gunning has been elevated into the role as Ian Holloway’s deputy, following the departure of Marcus Bignot last month.
