EXCLUSIVE: Thompson is understood to be taking his time to establish the next steps in his career, but Swindon are not in contact over a switch and a move back to Wiltshire is highly unlikely.

The club have been fined £1,000 and warned as to their future conduct in this area. Clarke, meanwhile, has been given an additional one-match ban for failing to abide by the terms of his suspension.
The Aston Villa loanee will have to make do with watching the clash with Barrow from the stands, with Tom Nichols set for a return to the starting lineup.
The forward spent a short period out on loan at Bath City during the first half of the season, and he is expected to return to the Romans this month for a longer spell in non-league.
MACHEL HEWITT: In hindsight, last-minute equaliser notwithstanding, Bromley should feel happy to have escaped with a point on a night when they were well below their best.

MACHEL HEWITT: For all of the praise Bromley’s unbeaten run has garnered, a win at home to Swindon would trump all of the attention and commendation. This is a genuine top-of-the-table clash as 1st take on 2nd. Dare we call it a six-pointer?
