Burton handed Barnet trial

League Two Barnet have taken well-travelled defender Sagi Burton on trial.

Barnet have handed a trial to defender Sagi Burton, who was released by League Two rivals Shrewsbury at the end of last season.

The 29-year-old was given the chance to impress Bees manager Paul Fairclough in Saturday's pre-season friendly against Arsenal.

Barnet sold Simon King to Gillingham over the summer, leaving 19-year-old James Cole as the only recognised central defender in Fairclough's squad.

Fellow trialists Stefan Seanla and Michael Bostwick were also included in the squad for the game against The Gunners.

Seanla was most recently on the books at Kettering, while Bostwick has been released by Rushden & Diamonds.
