Boss Joe Royle has confirmed that former Burnley and QPR defender Arthur Gnohere will be joining the club on trial this week. The Town manager says the Ivory Coast-born player will not be the only trialist hoping to make the grade at Portman Road.

Royle said: "We will be having a look at a few trialists between now and January, and Arthur will be with us for a while.

"He can play centre-half or left-back and played with distinction for Burnley and QPR.

"He's been out for a while with a knee injury but is fit now and we will be taking a look at him.

"He's a free agent and will be with us for at least the rest of this week."
