Lawrence Vigouroux has resumed his loan deal at Swindon Town after apologising for paying a £50 fine in pennies.

The Liverpool goalkeeper had been sent back to Anfield on Monday after his response to a fine for turning up late to training.

The 21-year-old had already played nine games this season for the League One side and will be available for Saturday’s trip to Blackpool.

His manager Mark Cooper told BBC Wiltshire: “Lawrence is going to come back, he is very humble and very apologetic. He knows the way he behaved was wrong and he has been in the changing room after the game and apologised to the players.

“He asked them if they wanted him back and they all said yes. Lawrence is an exceptional young goalkeeper and it’s important he learns from this little mishap and it will benefit his career going forward.

“I thought it was brilliant banter, but in the context it was the wrong way to go about it. We are giving him a second chance, and I’m sure he will be grateful.”
