The 20-year-old started his career as a trainee with Liverpool but was invited for a trial with the Cumbrians at the beginning of the month.[LNB]"He has a lot of ability and he is a very good passer of the ball," manager Greg Abbott told the club's official website.[LNB]"He has great energy and we have been looking for some fresh, younger players who will push the lads already in the first team, and he fits that bill.[LNB]"It's an opportunity for him, and hopefully it is one that he is going to take and make the most of. If he kick-starts his career by being with us, then that is of benefit to him and us."[LNB]Meanwhile, fellow trialist Gavin Rothery, 21, has been given another opportunity to impress following his arrival from Leeds.[LNB][LNB]
