Former Leyton Orient boss Martin Ling has been appointed as the new Swindon Town manager.

Ling guided the O's to promotion to League One in 2006 after a dramatic final day victory at Oxford. He spent six years in charge of the club before leaving in 2009.

Ling has since had spells in charge of Cambridge United and Torquay. His return to management will see him attempt to guide Swindon to safety with the Robins second bottom in League One.
