Boss Roy Keane says he will make a decision soon on whether to keep Brazilian trialist Marcus Picciarelli. The 20-year-old came on as a sub in Tuesday’s 2-0 win at Leiston.

Keane said: “He’s been here for a few days but he’s got a lot to do because he’s coming into a group of good young players.

“We’ll make a decision over the next few days. We want to give the boy a chance. It’s not easy when you go on trial, particularly when you’re thrown in to a tough game like the one at Leiston.”

Picciarelli is currently with Rio de Janeiro side Macaé.

Mark added 17:04 - Jul 30 "particularly when you’re thrown in to a tough game like the one at Leiston." I can never tell when Keane is serious and when he's joking. :-) It'd be nice to get some South American flair into the side, so let's wish Picciarelli well with the remainder of his trial.	35 forum posts 398 news comments 12 match reports 0 blogs 0 polls

John_Warks_Tash added 10:41 - Aug 1 I saw him play at Leiston, nothing fancy nor did he catch the eye really. Not worth signing on that performance IMO.	0 forum posts 14 news comments 0 match reports 0 blogs 0 polls
