Ipswich Town manager Jim Magilton has handed a trial to Portuguese winger Ricardo Fernandes after missing out on signing Laurent Robert.
Former Newcastle United star Robert opted to sign for Premiership strugglers Derby County despite having a brief trial at Portman Road.
The 29-year-old Fernandes is currently with Apoel Nicosia in Cyprus and Magilton told Town's official website: "The lad is spending a couple of days with us.
"We can have a look at him but it's nothing more than that."
Fernandes has previously played for Sporting Lisbon, FC Porto, Gil Vicente and Academica.
