In brief:

Trialists

EMYR HUWS

27-year-old Wales international midfielder who is a free agent after leaving Ipswich Town.

At his best, Huws is an exciting box-to-box midfielder with powerful drives through the middle of the park with a brilliant engine. But injuries have blighted an incredibly promising career, leaving him at a crossroads this summer.

OWEN BAILEY

Another player who has suffered injury setbacks in recent years, Bailey left Newcastle United at the end of last season.

The centre back, who can also play in midfield, was a promising member of the Magpies’ U23s set up - and skippered the side - which saw him included in the senior squad for a pre-season tour in China.

The 22-year-old left St James’ Park without making a senior competitive appearance, having been one of the leading figures to emerge from the club’s academy in recent years.

CHARLIE COLKETT

The 24-year-old midfielder is without a club after leaving Swedish side Östersunds.
An Academy product at Chelsea, Colkett won the FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth League while at Stamford Bridge.

Colkett - who represented England to U20 level - had loan spells with Bristol Rovers, Vitesse, Shrewsbury Town and Swindon Town. His time at the County Ground was not during the managerial tenure of Richie Wellens

He failed to make a senior appearance for Chelsea before moving to Sweden where he made 52 appearances across two campaigns for Östersunds.

AIDAN BARLOW

The 21-year-old midfielder has been without a club since leaving Manchester United last summer.

Barlow joined Manchester United at the age of six and was a regular for the club’s U18s and U23s in recent years.
He had a loan spell in Norway with Tromsø in the latter part of 2019.

A versatile player, Barlow is more attack minded as a midfielder and can operate anywhere across the middle of the park.

Emyr Huws has finally found a club. Joined Colchester United in League Two on a deal until end of this season.
