Davie Nicholls, the former Falkirk and Gretna midfielder, is on trial at Cappielow according to the Greenock Telegraph's Chris Fitzgerald.Davie Irons ran the rule over Nicholls (particularly his fitness) in a bounce match against Hamilton Accies yesterday but wont make a decision on whether to sign him until he sees him in action again next week sometime.
Name: Davie Nicholls
Age: 35 (d.o.b. - 5.4.1972)
Position: Midfield / Defence
Height: 5' 8"
Nationality: Scottish
Former Clubs: Cork City (Ireland), Clydebank, Falkirk, Dunfermline, Gretna, Newcastle Blue Star (England)
Assistant manager Derek Collins revealed that we also have a goalkeeper and a striker on trial. He said: “The purpose of the bounce game was twofold. Firstly, we wanted to run the rule over the trialists. I can tell you one was a goalkeeper, one a striker and the other Davie Nicholls. We wanted to monitor Nicholls’ fitness. With Barry out, we need cover there."
Nicholls is now 35 years old and on that basis I had my doubts about how valuable a signing he could be, particularly as he was always one of those players who, to me, looked like being a candidate for piling on the weight as he got older. However I'm not as sceptical after reading that he would be signed as defensive back up - he might be worth a short term contract just to provide some cover.
