Grimsby have offered Italian goalkeeper Kevin Strukelj a trial during their pre-season training.

Newell searches for shot-stopping options as Colgan is also contacted

Grimsby have offered Italian goalkeeper Kevin Strukelj a trial as they look to increase the size of their squad. The Mariners are short of shot-stopping options following the departures of Phil Barnes and Gary Montgomery. Strukelj, 24, has experience in Italy with Serie B side Torres Calcio but has most recently been playing in the Australian A-League. Meanwhile, Grimsby boss Mike Newell has contacted former Sunderland goalkeeper Nick Colgan regarding a potential move to Blundell Park. He told the Grimsby Telegraph: "I have spoken to Nick Colgan but only briefly. There has been no talk of offers or contracts or anything like that. "I have spoken to a few goalkeepers about coming here so it is nothing to get too excited about."
