Leeds swoop for Avery

Leeds United have handed a trial to Trinidad & Tobago's World Cup defender Avery John.
The 31-year-old full-back is training with the West Yorkshire club in a bid to win a contract after being released by New England Revolution following the end of the American Major League Soccer season.
During the World Cup, the well-travelled defender was sent off in Trinidad & Tobago's opening group game against Sweden and missed the 2-0 defeat by England.
He has previously played for Orlando Pirates in South Africa and spent five years in Ireland with Bohemians, Shelbourne and Longford Town.
