Former Blackpool winger training with Bulls

A former Blackpool winger is reported to be training with the Bulls.

Canadian Youth international winger Michael D’Agostino is understood to be the player.

Aged 22 D'Agostino was released by Blackpool in December by mutual agreement which suggests he is a free agent and could be signed at any time should Graham Turner feel he would fit into the squad at Edgar Street.

He joined Blackpool in September 2007 after trials at Leeds. Howver he went on loan to Cheltenham Town in November 2007 and made 25 appearances for the Robins.

Below is how Blackpool's website commented when D'Agostino left their club on December 16th.

CANADIAN YOUTH INTERNATIONAL Michael D'Agostino today left Blackpool FC after his contract with the Seasiders was cancelled by mutual consent.

The Vancouver born wide man arrived at Bloomfield Road on trial in the summer of 2007 and following a number of impressive appearances in both pre-season and the reserves was given a 12 month contract with an option for a further year. With first team football hard to come by at Bloomfield Road D'Agostino joined League One strugglers Cheltenham on loan and following an impressive six weeks at Whaddon Road the loan was extended until the end of the season.

D'Agostino impressed Pool's watching scouts enough for the Seasiders to activate the option in his contract, but, the 21-year-old has struggled to make an impact this season and following discussions with Simon Grayson it was agreed that the player's contract with the club would be cancelled with immediate effect.
