Gorawski Joins Blues on Trial - Ipswich Town News
Polish international right winger Damian Gorawski has joined the Blues on a week's trial. The 28-year-old is available on a free transfer with his FC Moscow contract having come to an end.
Capped 14 times by Poland, scoring one goal, Gorawski, 5ft 8in tall, started his career with Ruch Chorzów, joining Wisła Kraków in 2003 before a £900,000 transfer to FC Moscow, the club formerly known as Torpedo-ZIL, two years later.
The Ruda Śląska-born player was forced out of the Polish squad for the 2006 World Cup at the last minute due to what was reported to be severe asthma, although he has subsequently been given the all-clear by specialists.
Boss Jim Magilton told the club site: "The lad is here for a week and we will have a look at him and see where it takes us."
