Swindon Town striker Billy Paynter will not be leaving the County Ground this month, according to chairman Andrew Fitton.

Bristol Rovers, who are keen to bolster their strikeforce following the departure of Rickie Lambert to Southampton last August, were thought to have made an offer for the 25-year-old.

However, Fitton told the Swindon Advertiser: "Bids are only bids if someone has sent you a fax with a concrete offer and I haven't had one of those for Billy, or any of our players for that matter.

"I've heard and read about a lot of clubs who are supposedly interested in Billy, but none of them have got in contact with me.

"Billy's very much part of our plans going forward and I've never doubted that he wants to stay."
