Swindon Town's moves to tie Joel McGregor to improved deal hit snag as Robins prepare for tough summer of negotiations

McGregor still has a year left on his current contract, with the option for a further season, but Swindon are keen to recognise his contributions to the first team – and protect their asset.

The full-back is on first-year pro rates, which ultimately amount to little more than minimum wage.

The Moonraker understands the offer that is on the table for the teenager to consider is a one-year extension on fresh terms, which would increase his pay packet and put Town in a stronger position to negotiate with third parties if another club came in with a bid.
