Trinidad and Tobago strike duo, Jason Scotland and Devon Mitchell, are on trial with Scottish Premier League club Dundee United, team of former T&T skipper Russell Latapy.

The two players arrived at the club last week and are in the midst of United’s battle to avoid last spot as the season comes to an end.

According to reports out of the club, the manager Ian McAll is keen on seeing both players.

The pair will remain at the club for a week and if they impress, steps will be taken to secure their work permits.

The move has been orchestrated by English-based Mike Berry, who is the agent of T&T goalkeeper Clayton Ince and Wrexham trio Hector Sam, Dennis Lawrence and Carlos Edwards.

Latapy, meanwhile, has three more games for the season with United, which faces Marvin Andrews’ Livingston on Saturday.

Both United and cellar, placed Motherwell have played 35 games with the former ahead by one point.

Meanwhile, local defender Brent Sancho should have a deal with the other Scottish club Dundee tied up within the next couple of weeks. Dundee spotted the player during their tour of Trinidad earlier this year.

His deal is being made possible through the efforts of Pro Sports Caribbean who has Englishmen Terry Fenwick and Peter Miller as their representatives.

Fenwick told TTFF Media that he continued to look out for the interest of the T&T players and was also responsible for Mitchell’s trial with Falkirk last year.

“I’ve obviously kept in touch with everything back in Trinidad. I’m very keen to look at the progress the young players are making because Trinidad and Tobago has got some really special kids who need to be given the right development.

“That will always be my interest and I’m sure once I get back into the game which at the moment I have a couple offers I’m considering which won’t happen until the end of the season. I’m sure then I will come back to Trinidad for one or two players,” Fenwick said.

He identified Josh Johnson, Devon Mitchell and Cornell Glenn.

“With the right management and guidance, these boys can do very well. There are several players who just need to be coached and guided.”
