Striker to spend week at St Mary's
Southampton have handed a trial to former England striker Michael Ricketts.
Ricketts is looking for a new club after being released by Oldham in January.
The 29-year-old has struggled to recapture his best form in recent seasons, but Saints boss Nigel Pearson is ready to offer Ricketts the chance to win a move to St Mary's.
"It can never hurt to have a look at players and, with Michael's record, I felt he was someone worth looking at," Pearson told the
club's official website.
"He is a free agent so we invited him down so we can have a look at him in training. He is here for the week and we will see how it goes."
