Trinidadian international Kerry Baptiste will spend this week on trial with the Blues. The 28-year-old, who currently plays for Joe Public in his home country, was due over in January but his spell was postponed due to the snowy weather.
Boss Roy Keane says Baptiste will be looking to emulate the likes of Arran Lee-Barrett and Shane O’Connor in impressing him enough to win a deal: "He’s due over this week, I’m sure he’ll be pleased with the weather. He’s due in for a few days.
"We’ll have a look at the boy, Carlos knows him. We look forward to him having a few days with us, like Arran had a few days with us or Shane had a few days with us.”
An international team-mate of Edwards and former loanee Stern John with 43 caps and eight goals, Baptiste was previously with Trinidad clubs San Juan Jabloteh and North East Stars.
The striker or right winger is the all-time top scorer in the TT Pro League, Trinidad and Tobago's top division, having scored 102 goals, 48 of them coming last season.
The Blues have no new injuries ahead of Tuesday’s game at Scunthorpe but Liam Rosenior could be back in the squad after missing out over the weekend due to illness.
Scunthorpe have requested help from their fans in clearing snow from their pitch covers this morning ahead of the Blues’ visit.
