Phil Brown discusses the possibility of Michael Doughty, Jamie Sendles-White and Harry Toffolo returning to Swindon Town

During a fans' phone-in to BBC radio Wiltshire, Swindon Town manager Phil Brown fielded questions on whether either of Michael Doughty, Jamie Sendles-White or Harry Toffolo will be returning to Wiltshire this summer.

Michael Doughty and Harry Toffolo have been released by Peterborough United and Millwall respectively following the conclusion of the 2017-18 season, while Jamie Sendles-White is currently at National League South outfit St. Albans City.

All three have been subject of calls from Town fans for a return, and they had their chance to make their feelings known to the boss, as he spoke to the BBC for an hour on Tuesday night.

Wing-back Toffolo spent time at loan at Swindon from Norwich City during the 2014-15 season that saw Swindon make the final of the League One play-offs, and has since spent time on loan at Rotherham, Peterborough, Scunthorpe and Doncaster prior to his short stint at the New Den.

Speaking about the possibility of 22-year-old Toffolo making a return, Brown said: "I will only sign players that I really have done my homework on, I will only sign players that I've met, if I meet the lad and it's a postive, then who knows?

"I know his best position is left-back, and I hope Matty Taylor and Ellis Iandolo might fill that role."

Next up was a question on Doughty, who had two loan spells in successive seasons before being recalled by Championship QPR in January 2017. It was revealed by Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony that Lee Power rejected the chance to sign Doughty when he was transfer listed by Posh, but Brown says he likes the now-free agent.

"I've been an admirer of him, but we're chasing a lot of targets at the moment and I think a lot of supporters think I'm on holiday, but at this time of year we spend a lot of time on the phone, we've got to do a lot of research and a lot of homework, you've just got to be careful. It's really important that we get this part of the season right."

Sendles-White was the next name to be thrown into the mix. The centre-back was released in the summer of 2016 after suffering an ACL injury the previous September, which ended his campaign, and is working himself back to full fitness at St. Albans after being let go by National League Leyton Orient.

"It's a player that I've already met, I was having a coffee with him about 10 days ago, and it's key that when you do make a decision, he's got to be able to do the things he used to be able to do physically. I've got to make sure he's right for us and we're right for him."
