Swindon Town are on the verge of signing Morecambe defender Chris Blackburn according to BBC Radio Lancashire.
Blackburn was a key part of the Morecambe side that got promoted from the Conference last season after beating Exeter City in the Conference Playoff Final at Wembley in May.
Blackburn is a pacy defender who is probably best known for his beard and very long hair and has been capped by England at semi-pro level.
Blackburn scored 3 goals for Morecambe last season.
BBC Radio Lancashire reports that Blackburn will sign on Monday.
Is this the sort of huge signings we can be used to with our mysterious wealthy backers!!!!! LOL….
