A familiar name could once again return to the Town side in the not too distant future with the twin sons of Blues' legend Russell Osman currently on trial with the academy. Also being put through his paces at Playford Road at present is Norwegian keeper Aleksander Stensrud.

Osman's 16-year-old sons Ben and Toby, both midfielders, have been with Town for the last couple of weeks, Toby scoring for the U16s in last week's 5-1 defeat at Charlton.

Keeper Stensrud, 15, impressed the Town academy when on trial back in October and was asked back for a second spell. The highly-rated youngster, who has also spent time on trial with Liverpool, was between the sticks for the U16s at Crystal Palace on Saturday and kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 victory.
