Taylor Curran in contention for Swindon

Posted Friday, January 25, 2019 by PA

Swindon could include new signing Taylor Curran in their squad for the Sky Bet League Two clash with Crawley.

The 18-year-old defender has trained with the first team after joining from Southend on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

New signing Tom Broadbent made his debut in the 2-1 win at Tranmere, while fellow new arrival Danny Rose is pushing for a first start after coming off the bench on Saturday.

Steven Alzate (back) remains a long-term absentee for Swindon, who have picked up seven points from their last three games but are without a win at home since December 8.

Crawley will again be without Josh Payne, who serves the second game of a two-match suspension, as they look to bounce back from last weekend’s home defeat against Port Vale.

Striker Ricardo German, a recent arrival from non-league Hendon, is not yet ready to feature, while long-term absentee Jimmy Smith remains unavailable.

The Reds have no other injury worries to contend with as they look to end their miserable away form.

Gabriele Cioffi’s team are without a league win on the road since September after going on a run of nine defeats and one draw away from home.
