Whatever Happened To... Aaron Skelton
Skelton left the U's at the end of the 2000-01 season when his contract was up, joining Luton Town on a Bosman free transfer and becoming their captain.
His return to the club where he started his career was blighted by injuries - he only made 10 appearances in the season Luton were promoted from Division Three and nine the following year. He was released at the end of the 2002-03 season.
After a spell on trial at AFC Bournemouth, he quit the professional game and dropped into non-league football, joining Havant & Waterlooville at the start of the 2003-04 season. He was a first team regular that season, making 32 appearances, but a knee injury eventually resulted in him quitting football altogether on the advice of a surgeon.
He didn't kick a ball for two years after that, but did return to the game, joining Wessex Premier League side Poole Town in 2006. He is still playing for Poole, aged 37, and has made over 150 appearances for them to date.
Away from football, he has been a site manager in the construction trade.
Clubs since leaving the U's: Luton Town, Havant & Waterlooville, Poole Town.
What to read next:
We can only review one thing from yesterday’s game at Stoke City. To have to spend the focus it takes to put together and edit a report, ensure the licensing and stats are correct, takes time. So this morning we thought we would take the option that it seems Swansea City take while the club drops towards League One.
If you saw the match, please give us your player ratings and a mini match report.
The Swans take on the Potters in Staffordshire this afternoon. Our match day build up links are below and we will get the teams online as soon as we can. Kick off is 3Pm.
Swansea City seem to have recruited a smooth operator in Richard Montague. He is now at the club in an official capacity. So, what does he bring and what are his strengths ? After all he assembled a Notts County squad which at their level gave the club and its supporters something to be really proud of.
Swansea City will be travelling north from west Wales today in preparation for tomorrow afternoon’s away fixture against Stoke City. It’s a must win for both sides who are quite frankly dreadful over their past ten games, so much so they are both right in the relegation mix.
Despite giving him an incredible reference, Swans head coach Luke Williams has stated the appointment of Richard Montague as some form of football director was nothing to do with him. We will also have a look at that Jay Fulton disallowed goal last night.

Whatever it was that made head coach, Luke Williams choose his starting eleven against Sheffield Wednesday it was clear to many it wasn’t going to work. Overall this was a very poor display yet again by the Swans as all the hope from Sunday disappeared into nothing. This Swansea side is simply not being equipped enough to win Championship football matches.
The Swans and the Owls meet this evening at the Swansea.com in a Championship fixture at 7.45pm. Sheffield Wednesday have some omissions, the Swans just the one.
