I do apologise in advance for not knowing how this player is.  The report said he played for Canterbury United last year.

He has been offered a trial at Sunderland and came on for the second half during there 1-0 loss to Sc**thorpe in the weekend.

Does anyone know much about this player???

Not very flattering what they wrote in the Times...
 
Daryl Murphy�s shot against the post aside, it failed to improve considerably thereafter, defender Jack Pelter, Sunderland�s New Zealand-born trialist, afforded ample opportunity, but largely failing, to impress as the hosts again dominated.

That scentance is so badly written I can hardly tell what it actually means.
 
Is it saying that Pelter was afforded plenty of opportunity but filaed to impress?, or
That Pelter afforded his team plenty of opportunity, who failed to impress? . . .

Yeah pretty poor English.
 
The way I read it was that he was given plenty of opportunities to impress, but largely failed.
 
But then why would they single out one defender, unless he was really, really bad.
 
Might check out some Sunderland boards and see what they've said.

Just found this on another website...
 

Keane also gave triallist Jack Pelter 45 minutes to impress, but the New Zealand centre-half did not stand out.

In fact, had this been a competitive game, the 18-year-old might well have been sent off after hauling down Peter Winn when the sub was through on goal.

Just visited a Sunderland fanzine http://www.readytogo.net
and alot of the fans and suipporters had no idea they even had a NZ trialist.

Oh dear...I think even the guy that said Roy should sign him up was being sarcastic.
