TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY LIVE: Swindon Town chase late reinforcements, plus deals from around the leagues

Thomson is understood to have arrived in Swindon on Thursday (August 27) to complete a permanent switch, having made the long drive down from north of the border.

The Robins appear to be edging out of their injury crisis, and are expected to have most if not all of Joe Snowdon, Joseph Hungbo, Sam Inwood, Paul Glatzel and James Ball available for the game at Boundary Park.

Ian Holloway has no more matchday loan spots remaining, with five loanees already in the squad, and The Moonraker understands that the new arrival will be a permanent transfer.
