English-based defender Dennis Lawrence, having been told by Swansea City that he will not be offered a new contract for next season, is likely to receive an offer to stay on with Crewe Alexandra after joining them on loan earlier this season.

 “Crewe have been fantastic with me and it is an option,” Lawrence said.

 In Crewe's favour is that Lawrence kept his home in nearby Wrexham despite his switch to South Wales three years ago. "One of the reasons I left Swansea was because I want to be playing. I've come here and proved I've still got a lot to offer," he added.

 "I'm not going to stop until my body and these legs tell me that's it. "Crewe have got to start building for next season as soon as possible. They are a massive club and deserve to be at least in League One. "They have to deal with the reality this season hasn't been good enough. But Gudjon has done tremendously well for the time he has had. "He's shown what he's all about and he deserves the opportunity to try to take the club forward."

And Alex boss Thordarson commented: "Dennis is one of those players I will talk to. I think a lot of the squad already here can learn from my loan signings."

Defender Marvin Andrews says he hasn’t made up his mind as to whether he will continue playing with Raith Rovers after guiding the club to the Scottish Second Division title on the weekend.
