CHIPPENHAM Town hope to complete the paperwork on a loan deal for former Swindon Town U18 captain Alex Ferguson before Saturday's Calor League Southern Premier Division trip to Corby Town.

Midfielder Ferguson, 19, turned professional with Swindon in the summer of 2013 after graduating from the Academy and was at the Bluebirds' rivals Frome Town, for whom he made one start earlier this season.

The Basingstoke-born player would join Chippenham for a month and boss Mark Collier said: "He hasn't been involved with the first team at Swindon, so we're hoping we can get everything sorted out in time for the weekend.

Lee Phillips faces a late fitness test on his hamstring for Saturday's trip, but Shane Blackmore should be fit after training this week following his late withdrawal from the side for last weekend's defeat at Poole.
