Town have announced that three trialists will take the field tonight in their first pre-season match taking place at Helmond Sport. Possibly of most interest is keeper Marian Kello who is out of contract with his former club Hearts.
Aston Villa were strongly tipped to sign Kello but with Guzan recently signing a new contract, it would appear that Town are favourites to sign the Slovakian glovesman.
Also on trial are Frenchmen Plaisir Bahamboula and Soualio Bakayoko who have been with the club for a week.
Jewell told the club site "They have both done well and we will see how things go. With Marian, Aston Villa were keen on him and he's a free agent.
"He's come over to spend the week with us in Holland and we will take it from there.
"He will get a game tonight as will the two other trialists."

I told everyone yesterday we had a GK well done Jewell n the club keeping it quiet Kello is a v decent GK would b a cracking signing: good luck too the too other trialists 1 of them a French striker sounds a decent young player COYB!!
Might take me a while to prononce those two french boys names. Phew, bit of a mouth full. The dogs just got a gob full of spit on him in the process. :)
This guy got an early end of his contract at Hearts (probably similarly to Stevenson) where he had played for four years and had a good trial with Villa in early April. All reports then said they were going to sign him but what went wrong there I have no idea. His Manager at Hearts, Jim Jefferies, speaks very highly of him and calls him a 'match winner' so I think if we can sign this guy we will have done very well. If PJ pulls this one off then all those moaners will have to go away. COYB
Sounds like he's a decent keeper, well worth a trial and if he does well offer him at least a year contract, otherwise we are rapidly running out of time before the season starts and still only one keeper on the books !
Well we will have to wait & see. Keeper sounds ok from what i read on wikipedia. Hope they all do well. Is the game on radio or anything tonight? Anyone have any idea?
Kello left Hearts because of a contract dipute.This is from the bbc.-Marian Kello agrees to early Hearts exit Goalkeeper Marian Kello has agreed an early release from Hearts, with his contract due to expire in the summer.
The 29-year-old Slovak has not played for the Tynecastle side since refusing a January transfer to Austria Vienna.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank my team-mates and the Hearts supporters who have always made me feel so welcome," said Kello.
"I will always value my time at the club and wish them all the very best for the rest of the season."
Kello, who has been linked with Aston Villa in newspaper reports, has been at the Edinburgh club since agreeing an initial loan move from Lithuanian side Kaunas in August 2008 and was a stand-out performer last season.
