Just been reading that we had a Swindon under 16's keeper on trial not too long ago, I wonder if the Darbs loan is to help sort out a future deal for the lad?

 

No Reds bid for Stephens

 

Swindon Town's promising young goalkeeper Jamie Stephens looks set to stay with the League One club, after Liverpool failed to follow up their interest.

 

The 16-year-old enjoyed a trial spell with the Anfield club, but has since returned and the Robins have not been contacted by the Premier League outfit since.

 

Swindon boss Danny Wilson has told skysports.com that the youngster has all the credentials to be a top class stopper.

 

"He has got a lot potential, as a lot of young lads have, with his age and size he ticks a lot of boxes," he said.

 

"Whether he can realise that potential in the long-run remains to be seen, but we rate him very highly for a boy so young and hopefully we can nurture that talent so that he becomes a great professional footballer.

 

"He went up for the experience more than anything, but he has come back and really enjoyed himself.

 

"We wanted him to go up and get a taste for what it is like at a top club like Liverpool then come back and get his head down again.

 

"He has done just that and as far as we are concerned nothing else will happen in terms of Liverpool coming in for him, but time will tell."

 

The Robins slipped to their second consecutive defeat on Tuesday night at play-off rivals MK Dons and Wilson insists there was no room for sentiment against one of his former clubs.

 

"There is no sentiment for me because it is a totally different club from the one I left. There has been a mass change in personnel since I was there and I think there are only two people that remain from my time there.

 

"Things have progressed very quickly for them and they have done very well, so there is a professional respect there as there always is when going back to one of your former clubs, but it has changed a lot."

The Stephens trial came about because Kenny Dalglish is a good friend of Danny Wilson, Swindon's manager. Wouldn't surprise me that the Darby deal came through him as well.
