Dutch defender Marciano Bruma has been handed a trial at Ipswich Town.

The 22-year-old has failed to make an appearance for Sparta Rotterdam this season and has been granted a move to England.

Bruma made his debut for Sparta in 2004/2005 and made 23 first-team appearances, but he has struggled to make his mark since the arrival of Wiljan Vloet as coach.

Town boss Jim Magilton is keen to bolster his squad and is giving Bruma a chance to stake his claim for a contract at Portman Road.
