Flint chooses Swindon over Hatters

HATTERS have been forced to concede defeat in their pursuit of highly-rated centre-back Aden Flint from Blue Square Bet North side Alfreton Town, writes Mike Simmonds.

Luton had been interested in the 21-year-old during the summer, and made a number of approaches for the towering defender, but he eventually chose to join League One Swindon Town for £150,000.

Hatters boss Richard Money said: “He’s been on our radar since the summer. We made an offer for him in the summer, and we’ve been chasing him all year, but in the end, League interest has meant the price is too much.”
