Swindon Town

NATHAN Thompson says that it is great to be back in training again following the off-season break.

The skipper also revealed that everyone in the squad is looking forward to Town’s trip to Ireland.

“It’s been good, just great to be back again,” he told STFC PlayerHD. “After the first couple of weeks after you’ve recharged your batteries, you’re itching to get back at it. (It’s good to) catch up with the lads again and get back out on the pitch.

“It’s always nice, a change of scenery in pre-season. I’ve not been to Dublin before so it will be nice. Shelbourne will be decent opposition so it’s something we’re looking forward to.”
