Keeper set for trial

Middlesbrough have taken Jamie Ashdown on trial as they continue to look at their goalkeeping options. The 31-year-old is without a club after leaving Portsmouth at the end of last season. He has been linked with a number of Championship clubs, but has now accepted an invite from Boro to take part in pre-season with them. Boro only have England U21 ace Jason Steele and Connor Ripley as senior keepers in their squad and want at least one more experienced shot-stopper. They already have Swiss goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler on trial from FC Basel.
