Ex-Imp Matt Carbon seems destined to join the Imps, that is according to Swindon Town who have released a statement saying that Carbon turned them down to return to Lincoln.

This afternoon, a story was released on Swindon Town's website that Walsall player, Matt Carbon is set to return to the Imps after rejecting Swindon's offer as soon as he found out Lincoln were interested.

There has been no statement from Lincoln as of yet.

Carbon initially started his career with the Imps making a total of 72 appearances for the Imps scoring 10 goals. A £400,000 transfer to Derby was then followed by a £800,000 to West Brom. He now "plays" for Walsall.

He was training at Swindon Town with hopes of getting a move to the Division 2 club but news broke to him that Lincoln were interested and he has alledgly done a massive u-turn and now wants to join the Division 3 Promotion Chasers.
