Scotland, Mitchell on Dundee Utd trial

NATIONAL strikers Jason Scotland and Devon Mitchell are currently on trial with Scottish Premier League club Dundee United, the  team of ex-skipper Russell Latapy.

Scotland who recently left Defence Force, and Mitchell from defending TT Pro League kings CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh, arrived at the club in the  midst of United’s battle to avoid relegation. According to reports out of the club, manager Ian McAill is keen on seeing the capabilities of both players who will remain for one week. Should they impress McAill, further steps will be taken to secure their work permits. These moves have been orchestrated by English-based agent Mike Berry who is agent of national and Crewe Alexandra goalkeeper Clayton Ince, and Wrexham trio Hector Sam, Dennis Lawrence and Carlos Edwards.

Meanwhile, local defender Brent Sancho of Jabloteh, currently playing in the American A-League with Portland Timbers, is expected to have a deal with Dundee finalised within the next couple weeks. Dundee spotted Sancho during their tour of Trinidad earlier this year. His contract is being made possible through the efforts of Pro Sports Caribbean who has Englishman Terry Fenwick the ex-Jabloteh coach, and Peter Miller, former CEO of the Football Company of Trinidad and Tobago (FCOTT) as their representatives.
