French trialist Patrice Maurel is likely to sign on loan for Town in order to play in the reserve game on Wednesday with Bristol City. The 21-year old midfielder has been on trial for the last couple of weeks and has clearly impressed George Burley enough for him to be given further time to show his stuff. Burley sees the Toulouse player as one for the future and it is doubtful that he will be in the frame for first team action. Toulouse are not looking for a fee for the player.
