West Ham United's teenage left-back Joe Widdowson will spend a week on trial with Carlisle United.
The 19-year-old has been a regular in the Hammers' reserve team and Carlisle boss John Ward is keen to take a closer look at him.
He told the club's official website: "He'll stay with us for just over a week. We'll have a look at him and then it'll be a question of whether we take it any further.
"We'll see if he likes us and if we like him, and then we can take it from there. He's up here with the full blessing of West Ham and we're looking forward to working with him.
"It doesn't look like he'll push through at West Ham at the moment, so we've asked if we can take a look at him.
"They said yes, that was fine, so we invited him up here for the trial and, as I say, it's now just a case of seeing how that goes."
