Birmingham have taken former Liverpool and Portsmouth defender Gregory Vignal on trial.

McLeish looks at free agent to add defensive cover

Birmingham have taken former Liverpool and Portsmouth defender Gregory Vignal on trial. The 28-year-old left-back, who has been released by Ligue 1 side Lens, will feature in the Blues' friendly match against Sporting Gijon on Saturday. Alex McLeish is currently looking at options for the position due to fitness problems for David Murphy and Franck Queudrue, and he has turned to Vignal after seemingly missing out on a loan move for Arsenal's Armand Traore. Vignal recently had a trial at Championship side QPR, but boss Jim Magilton decided against pursuing the deal.
