Swindon assistant boss Luke Williams will not be heading to Aston Villa, new boss Tim Sherwood has revealed.

The former Tottenham manager was unveiled as Villa's replacement for Paul Lambert on Monday morning and he will now begin putting together his coaching staff. But he insists former Brighton coach Williams will not be part of it. "He's at Swindon and is in a five-year contract," he told the Birmingham Mail "You'll never get him out. It's a non-starter."
