• Wilshere first choice to replace sacked Matt Bloomfield

• Rotherham, Orient and Wycombe win in League One

Jack Wilshere, the former Arsenal and England midfielder, is reportedly close to taking over as the Luton manager. The 33-year-old has emerged as first choice to replace Matt Bloomfield, who was sacked this week, after holding talks with the club’s board at Kenilworth Road.

Wilshere filled in at Norwich at the end of last season where he took charge for the final two games after Johannes Hoff Thorup’s sacking, but did not get the job permanently. He was also in the frame at Plymouth before Tom Cleverley was hired as manager.

• Olympic champion ends injury-hampered season on high

• World silver medallist Georgia Hunter Bell takes second

Keely Hodgkinson won the 800m to end her injury-hampered season on a high at New York’s all-female Athlos meeting. Britain’s Olympic champion outclassed the field in her signature event, finishing in 1min 56.53sec in only her sixth race this season after missing several months of competition due to injury earlier this year.

Her fellow Briton Georgia Hunter Bell, the world silver medallist, took second in 1:58.33 on Friday night before a thronging Icahn Stadium. St Vincent’s Shafiqua Maloney (1:58.57) was third.
