Trotters youngster hoping for chance to impress at the County Ground

Swindon have completed the capture of Tope Obadeyi from Bolton on a one-month loan deal. The 19-year-old arrives at the County Ground to provide the Robins with an extra attacking option following the sale of Simon Cox to West Brom. The youngster is expected to go straight into Danny Wilson's squad for Saturday's clash with MK Dons. While the agreement may only be for a short period of time, Obadeyi is hoping to play his part over the coming weeks. "I was called into the manager's office at Bolton and he (Gary Megson) said that Swindon were keen to take me on loan," he told the club's official website. "I thought it would be a great chance for me to come down here and play a few first-team games." Trotters boss Megson is also hoping Obadeyi will see some action during his time with the Robins. "At this moment in time, Tope needs regular first-team football to aid his development which we feel he will get at Swindon Town," he said.
