Toon Trialist Doesn't Make The Grade

23 January 2012 11:12
Alan Pardew will NOT be bolstering his attacking ranks with the acquisition of trialist Jason Prior.

Prior has been on a ten day trial from non-league side Bognor Regis.

Despite suggestions he would figure in Thursday's reserves game with Manchester United, it is understood Newcastle have decided they will not be taking their interest in the Ryman League player any further.

The trialist took a knock in a reserve fixture and was "touch-and-go" to play against Man Utd, but Pardew has already made up his mind.

However, it has been suggested Carlisle United could give Prior a trial.
