Cochrane Maybe to Yeovil
Midfielder Justin Cochrane (above) might be turning his trial period at Yeovil into a permanent move?
WITH Yeovil Town's first game of the 2007-08 season away at Huddersfield Town nearing fast, Glovers' boss Russell Slade is still looking to strengthen his squad.
There was talk yesterday (Tuesday) that he was looking to sign former Crewe Alexandra and Rotherham United midfielder Justin Cochrane.
The 25-year-old, who is on trial at Huish Park, played during Yeovil's decent 2-2 pre-season friendly draw at Bristol City on Saturday and Slade later described his performance as great.' London-born Cochrane started his career at QPR as a trainee and played for the youth and reserve teams.
He was sold to non-league Hayes - a club that not so long ago were fierce rivals of Yeovil - having failed to make a single first-team appearance for QPR.
Cochrane was then sold by Hayes on a free transfer to Crewe.
He later had a loan spell at Gillingham and a trial at Luton Town, before he was released by Crewe at the end of the 2005-06 season and joined Rotherham.
But now he is a free agent, Slade is taking a closer look at him to see if he could be another piece of the jigsaw before the curtain-opener on August 11...Yeovil Express
