Swanson said: “It might sound strange as Hibs are my team, but my preferred option right now is to head to England.

Ferguson did confirm a new signing yesterday with the appointment of Chris Burton as club physio. The first team worked with temporary physios towards the end of last season after Peter Corder left London Road.
Burton has previously worked for Hull and Barnsley.

Ferguson insisted he knew nothing about rumours linking transfer-listed striker Nicky Ajose with a move to League Two champions Swindon, but revealed there was interest from ‘The Robins’ last season.
