FORMER Bradon Forest School pupil Joseph Mills is looking forward to facing his hometown club tonight as Oldham Athletic attempt to put a dent in Swindon’s promotion charge.

Former Southampton youngster Mills returned to the starting fold against Scunthorpe after serving his three game suspension for his sending off against Doncaster Rovers last month.

The 25-year-old, who played for Town at age group level, is relishing the chance to get one over on his hometown club.

Mills told the Latics official website: "I always look for this when the fixtures come out. I was there quite a long time ago but it's always a bit special playing against them and I'm looking forward to it. It's a game against two teams in the top seven so it should be interesting.

"They are doing really well. I've watched them a couple of times and they like to move the ball. They have some talented young players and when you get young players they are hungry to do well. I like the way they play and they have a lot of threats so I think it will be a good game.

"Both teams have improved since the last meeting. As the season has gone by, both teams have got stronger. The more games you play, you bring in different players and that adds the dimension to the team so I think it will be similar to the first game down there and it could be a good one."
