Swindon Town expected to trigger third-year scholarship options on academy players and bid to turn them pro

EXCLUSIVE: There is no obligation on the part of academy players to take the pro offer – Botan Ameen declined the same sort of deal a year ago in an effort to hurry through his switch to Norwich. Swindon, however, are hopeful that sort of situation will not develop for either player this time around.

Swindon Town are set to trigger options in two young players’ pathway contracts early following impressive pre-season showings.

The Robins typically include a clause in academy deals which gives them the right to extend a player’s stay in Wiltshire an additional 12 months.

Last summer, Town took up this option for Botan Ameen prior to his departure to Norwich City.

This year, The Moonraker understands Swindon are ready to pull the trigger on Louis Millard and Lucas Griffiths-Brown.
