Good looks to earn deal with Magpies

Melbourne Heart defender Curtis Good has been handed a trial by Newcastle United. The Australian youth international is already a regular in the A-League with Melbourne, and is regarded very highly in Australia. A former captain of the Australian Institute of Sport, Good joined Melbourne last year and the left-footed central defender has impressed. Now Newcastle have invited him for a trial and he has flown to the North East of England to train on Tyneside with a view to earning a move. "I always wondered what it was like compared to Australia, but I didn't expect it to happen this early, so I'm just going to enjoy the experience," Good told the club's official website. "It was organised through my manager. They saw me play, though I'm not sure if it was in the A-League or with the national team, but it just happened to come about. "It's just a short trial. I'll just train and play games, and if they're happy, I'll hopefully get an offer, but if not, then I'll just enjoy the experience."
