Blues manager Roy Keane says former trialist Kerry Baptiste could still return to the Blues for a further spell. The Trinidadian international impressed Keane during his previous trial at the club back in March.
The Town manager says there is no date yet set for the 28-year-old striker or winger's second stint with the club: "No news on that. We said we’d probably bring him back but at the time it was a bit quiet - we didn’t have any games for the boy. We’re going to keep an eye on that on and hopefully get the boy back over because he did well in terms of training.”
Baptiste, an international team-mate of Carlos Edwards and Town target Jason Scotland, is still with the Joe Public club in his home country, where he is captain.
Keane says Brazilian trialist Marcus Picciarelli, who played in the reserves friendly at Leiston, has not been offered a contract.
Meanwhile, reported Town target Brett Pitman’s £600,000 move to Blackpool has broken down. The Blues are amongst a number of clubs said to be eyeing the 22-year-old striker. Pitman is now said to be close to completing a move to another club.
Elsewhere, Marcus Evans’s THG company have won a contract from the FAI to provide official corporate hospitality at the new Aviva Stadium in Dublin, utilising Town’s ticketing facilities for sales.
