Former Blackpool midfielder Isaiah Osbourne is training with Port Vale with the aim of earning a contract.
However, caretaker manager Rob Page has played down the possibility of a deal for the 26-year-old - who is a free agent having been released by the Tangerines at the end of last season. Vale are not short of central midfielders, with Chris Lines and Michael O'Connor currently impressing in the first team and Michael Brown providing cover. But Osbourne, who began his career with Aston Villa, has impressed Page in training. "He has been training with us and we have had a look. I knew his brother Isaac from our Coventry days so it is more of a case of helping the lad keep his fitness as much as anything," Page told The Sentinel. "He is a great lad, he hasn't been a minute's problem. He has come in and is getting his fitness and not disrupting the lads, so I will help players like that."
