Subject to ratification by the EFL and the FA, the ex-Pompey favourite will be part of a third side to net promotion from the fourth tier.

Swindon are poised to be crowned champions of the 2019-20 season after clubs on Friday unanimously voted to curtail remaining fixtures amid the coronavirus crisis.

League positions have been decided by an unweighted points-per-game method, which will see the Robins return to League One after a three-year hiatus.

Several ex-Blues players have been part of the title triumph.

Rose has been at the forefront as he helped a third club to League Two silverware – within just five years.

After joining Northampton in February 2016, the midfielder scored one goal in 15 games as they finished top of the table under Chris Wilder.

Rose moved to Fratton Park the following summer on a free transfer – and he’d yet again be hoisting the title aloft at the end of the campaign.

The Manchester United academy graduated netted five times in 40 outings as Paul Cook’s men claimed the fourth-tier crown on the final day of the 2016-17 campaign.

Rose would find his game-time limited after Kenny Jackett took the Fratton Park helm, which resulted in him leaving by mutual consent and joining Swindon in January 2019.

He’s been a key player at the County Ground since his arrival. This term, he bagged once in 23 games to help Richie Wellens’ men clinch the spoils.

Eoin Doyle, who spent the second half of 2016-17 on loan at Pompey, spearheaded the Robins’ title charge. He enjoyed a highly-fruitful campaign, plundering 25 goals in just 29 appearances.

Noel Hunt was also part of Cook’s Pompey title-winning side, bagging once in 24 outings.

The Irishman has hung up his boots and is Wellens’ assistant boss at Swindon, playing a pivotal role masterminding the triumph.

There have also been vital contributions from a player Pompey fans wouldn't have predicted this time last year.

Lloyd Isgrove didn’t make a single outing while on loan at Fratton Park last term and returned to Barnsley before the Blues’ play-off semi-final against Sunderland.

The winger, however, has been one of the Robins’ most potent attacking outlets, contributing five assists.

Finally, there was the small part that Adam May played in Wiltshire earlier this season.

His loan spell from Pompey didn’t go as planned and was restricted to 13 appearances before returning in January.
