Bound Set For Return

OXFORD MAIL JUNE 02 2004

Axed Oxford United centre back Matt Bound could be set for a shock move back to his old club Swansea , writes JON MURRAY. New Swans boss Kenny Jackett is understood to have held talks with the 31 year old defender, who is currently on holiday. Bound was released by United last month after two seasons at the Kassam Stadium. He claimed he had been made a scapegoat by Ian Atkins when things started to go wrong in the second half of last season. The Wiltshire born player joined the U’s from the Vetch Field, where he had been captain. Every time he faced his former club he ran a gauntlet of hate from the Swansea fans, who branded him a "Judas" for leaving the Welsh club in search of a bigger wage packet. But Jackett,who is on the look-out for a powerful defender,believes Bound’s history is irrelevant.
