Thornton reportedly had Trial with Bulls

Yesterday it was Nathan Elder, today it is Kevin Thornton who is reported to have had a trial with Hereford United, according to the Northampton Chronicle.

Thornton is a 25 year old Irish mid-fielder who was released by Northampton at the end of August. He was on a monthly contract.

He has also had a trial with Exeter but is currently without a club.

Thornton spent four years with Coventry but left by mutual consent in July 2009. According to Wikipedia 'Both the club and player refused to comment on this, but it is believed to be down to his court appearance the previous month. He had been found guilty of failing to stop at the scene of an accident, driving with excess alcohol and without insurance or a full licence. For his crimes he was banned from driving for 22 months, fined £2,750 and ordered to pay £260 in costs and compensation. Two years earlier he had been convicted for criminal damage to a taxi after a night out in 2007.'

Recently he has supplemented his football income by 'touring the West Midlands with his Indie three-piece band.'
