Swindon Town manager Maurice Malpas remains confident he will have completed the signing of Bristol City midfielder Kevin Betsy before Saturday's opening game of the League One season at Tranmere Rovers.

Malpas has held talks with the 30-year-old, but the transfer could hinge on whether Betsy can secure a financial pay-off to terminate his Ashton Gate contract.

Malpas said: "We're working away to get Betsy here and he's trying to sort something out with his club. I hope something will be decided soon.

"He's keen to come here but Bristol City have a big say in whether he gets what he's looking for financially."
