Swindon have announced Luke Williams will continue as first team manager until the end of the 2015/16 campaign. The club say they will then review the management situation at the end of the season.

Williams has been in caretaker charge since Martin Ling resigned in December. The former Brighton & Hove Albion reserves and Under-21 coach has overseen pulsating victories against Southend United and Crewe Alexandra.

Speaking before the announcement was made Jonathan Obika told ITV West Country the players were fully behind him:

Swindon are currently 14th in League One having won 7 of their previous 10 games. They lie 7 points from the playoff places and travel to Sheffield United this Saturday.
