Former Macclesfield Town and Port Vale defender Christian Cooke is to have a week long trial with Limerick FC and will line out for The Blues in next Monday’s friendly with Scunthorpe United at Hogan Park.
Ex-Aston Villa midfielder John McGrath is also being lined up to guest for Limerick against 'The Iron' who also face Cobh Ramblers on Wednesday night.
Cooke (19) arrived in Limerick yesterday and trained with Noel O'Connor's side for the first time last night.
Limerick born McGrath is presently on trial with Darlington and is also attracting strong interest from York City.
The 23-year-old was left go by Kidderminster at the end of last season as the club sought to slash wages after being relegated to the Conference.
The ex-Irish U-21 international said: "I would love to line out for Limerick on Monday night but it all depends on whether I am offered a contract over the next few days."
"I would like to thank Limerick FC Chairman Danny Drew for inviting me over but at this point I will have to wait until Sunday to know where I stand", he added.
Meanwhile the Blues will be hoping to reverse a two match losing streak when they meet Kildare County at Hogan Park tonight.
New signing Brendan Sweeney is expected to line out for the Shannonsiders.
