Robins Keen On Watford Striker

Last updated : 03 April 2008 By Sam
Ashikodi, who has been on loan with the Wiltshire side since January, scored a hat trick for The Robins in their 6-1 thrashing of Chippenham Town in the semi-finals of the Wiltshire Premier Shield this week prompting Town assistant manager David Byrne into comparing the Hornets striker to Blackburn Rovers forawrd Jason Roberts.

"He hasn't had a pre-season for two years but if we can get him fit he's the sort of player who could be worth a lot of money -I think he's the new Jason Roberts," Byrne has said.

"Whether he can come here permanently is something we'll have to sit down and talk about from now until the end of the season.

"I think he's out of contract in the summer but that's something we'll have to discuss with our board of directors and also with Watford."
