Robins look at Moroccan

The 28-year-old is without a club after being released by Coventry City in late August, but did his chances of winning a contract with the Robins no harm by scoring in the reserves' 1-1 draw against Plymouth on Tuesday.

Johnson told the club's official website: "We believe Faysal has some ability.

"We have given him an extended trial period because he was unfortunately injured in a practice game and we haven't been able to take a close look at him until now."
