Swindon Town's Matt Hewlett is still waiting to hear whether the club are willing to meet him half way on his contract demands.
Hewlett, 26, was offered a new two-year deal by boss Andy King, but the midfielder requested the club break their contract structure with a three-year offer.
Hewlett is now playing the waiting game, hoping that King is prepared to compromise.
The former Bristol City man explained: "I've spoken to the manager, and we have reached a verbal agreement.
"The length of contract was the stumbling block, but hopefully we've come to a compromise.
"I'm now waiting for a letter from the club in the next couple of days confirming that everything is in order and then I'll sign."
