Winger grasps opportunity to impress on trial

Former Coventry City winger Ellery Cairo has secured a contract with Heracles Almelo for the rest of the season. Cairo had been available on a free transfer after leaving NAC Breda in the summer and has recently been on trial with Heracles. The 32-year-old has shown enough to warrant a deal and Heracles praised Cairo for grasping his opportunity to impress. "He has in recent weeks had a fair chance to prove himself here and show that he will improve our squad," director Nico-Jan Hoogma told the club's official website. "He grabbed that chance and so Ellery has signed a contract for the remainder of the season." Cairo made nine appearances for Coventry during the 2007/08 season and also numbers Feyenoord, Excelsior (loan), FC Twente, Freiburg and Hertha Berlin among his former clubs.
