Coventry City will take Merthyr Tydfil keeper Ashley Morris on a week's trial. City have been keeping tabs on the 21 year for a while and will put him through his paces at Ryton this week.

Merthyr manager and former Coventry schoolboy Paul Sugrue told the South Wales Echo; Morris has come through our academy and we will not stand in his way. It will be a shake of the hand and a good luck message - he deserves his chance to make it as a professional player."

He added: "There would be a cash payment involved,but decent keepers are hard to find. "But the money would be used to strengthen the squad and we are already putting the feelers out.
