Grant joined the Robins on a short-term contract in January following a four-month loan from Shrewsbury Town.

The 33-year-old has around 500 EFL appearances to his name, including spells with Southend United, Crewe Alexandra, Port Vale and Peterborough United. The Londoner played 30 times for Swindon in League Two last season.

It has been reported that Swindon are eager to agree a new deal with Grant, just as Robins boss Richie Wellens made no secret of his desire to sign Yates.

And Blackpool's links to players associated with Swindon don't end there: another rumoured target is Rarmani Edmonds-Green, a 20-year-old defender who played for ex-Pool midfielder Wellens' side last season on loan from Huddersfield Town.
