Town have included trialist Kane Smith in the U21s side facing Bristol City at Playford Road this afternoon (KO 1pm).

Smith is a 19-year-old right-back, who plays for Evo-Stik Southern Premier League side Hitchin Town.

Smith spent time on trial with West Brom and Crystal Palace earlier in the season, featuring for the Eagles’ U21s, while Brighton, Reading, West Brom and Bristol City have also been keeping tabs.

Smith joined Hitchin from Biggleswade Town in December 2014, having previously been with Luton’s youth set-up.

A midfielder earlier in his career, Smith broke into the Hitchin side this time last year and quickly made an impression.

Also starting are Jay Tabb, Larsen Touré, Paul Digby, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Luke Varney.

U21s: Crowe, K Smith, Tabb, McDonnell, Emmanuel, Digby, Maitland-Niles, Dozzell, Varney, McLoughlin, Touré. Subs: Marsden, C Smith, Kenlock, Blanchfield, McKendry.

Bristol City: Woolacott, Harris, Kelly, Baldwin, Batten, Morrell, Last, Fry, Downing, Evans, McCoulsky. Subs: O’Leary, Harper, Moss, Chilekwa.

nhabo added 13:06 - Feb 29 Will be interested to hear where the trialist plays. Looking at that line-up, it'll be Tabb at left back so does Emmanuel move to centre-back with Digby?

Wallingford_Boy added 13:08 - Feb 29 Kenlock only on the bench. A strong side for once. Dare I say it.... might we get a win?!?!?!

blues1 added 15:37 - Feb 29 Ian Taylor. Are you kidding? AMN has been awful for some time now. He's a good player but just hasn't been performing. Hopefully if he has a good game in this match it'll do his confidence some good
