Luke Williams will make decision on trialist by the weekend

Swindon manager Luke Williams has revealed that the unknown striker on trial at Swindon will know if he has earned a contract at the County Ground by the weekend.

The trialist scored a brace in a 5-2 loss to a Peterborough reserve side last week and is still at the club trying to get himself tied down in Wiltshire.

"He is still here with us at the moment but we will try and make a decision on the player on the weekend," Williams said.

Williams also outlined that there will "probably not" be anymore behind-closed-doors friendlies for the player to prove himself "unless he leaves at the end of the week and comes back at a later date to play.

"We don't want him to be training and travelling for a long period of time, we owe it to the boy to make a decision sooner rather than later."

Talk of the tralist has been whether it is high-profile free agents such as Peter Odemwingie, Tom Hitchcock or Bobby Zamora, all ex-QPR who Town have close ties with, but Williams was not drawn on the history of the player.

"If I am completely honest I don't know the boy's recent contract history. I just know he has some experience of league football and he is currently a free agent."
