Two on Trial at Edgar Street

Hereford United manager John Trewick has confirmed that two trialists took part in the friendly at Coventry on Wednesday morning which the Bulls lost 1-0.

Whilst the manager hasn't confirmed the identity of either player, he has said that 'one is a right sided player, and the other a central midfielder'.

The right-sided player could be Jonathan Brown. Last Tuesday Bulls News reported that he may be training at Edgar Street.

A Profile of Brown, picture from the FAW, adapted from Wikipedia:

Jonathan Brown was born in Bridgend and progressed through the youth system at Cardiff City before making his league debut for Cardiff on 12 February 2008 against Coventry City. He came off the bench in the closing minutes and made a second appearance later in the season, coming on as a substitute again during a 3-1 win over Blackpool.

At the end of the season he was rewarded with a one year deal at the club, his first professional contract. However having failed to play for the Bluebirds, he was loaned to Wrexham for two months.

He scored his first goal for the club in his second game when he scored in the 90th minute to give Wrexham a 2-1 win over Kettering Town. However on Christmas Eve Brown was involved in a road accident while travelling back to Wrexham. His car overturned near Welshpool and he was forced to break one of the vehicles windows in order to escape. Brown kept the incident a secret from Wrexham manager Dean Saunders until after he had played against Barrow on Boxing day two days later.

In early January his loan deal was extended for a month, later a deal was agreed to keep him at the Racecourse for the remainder of the season. In total, Brown made 27 appearances in all competitions for the club, scoring four times before returning to Cardiff in May when he was released.

Brown has been a regular at various youth levels for Wales and was part of the under-19 squad that took part in the Milk Cup in 2007. He made his under-21 debut against Malta U21 on 5 February 2008, scoring his first goal for the under-21 side on 31 March, 2009 in a 5-1 win over Luxembourg.
