Roberts Could Join Cambridge

Former Wales international Iwan Roberts has revealed he would like to join Cambridge if he has no future at Gillingham.

"I had a tough time at Gillingham and lost a lot of enthusiasm but I got it back when I came to Cambridge," the 36-year old told a Cambridge newspaper.

"My agent is going to give the new manager a ring this week to see what's going to happen.

"Should Rob Newman want me and if there's nothing at Gillingham, I'd be interested," said Roberts

The former Leicester, Wolves and Norwich striker is currently studying for his UEFA A coaching badge and would be interested in a player-coach role.

"I suppose a lot depends on the club's finances but while I'd like to do coaching, I want to play on," added Roberts.

"It will be a challenge for Rob next season and if I was there to help him, it would be a challenge for both of us. We've got plenty of contacts, so I'm sure we could get help from a number of people."
