Bristol Rovers boss John Ward has revealed that the club have had Birmingham City defender Graham Hutchinson on trial.

The 20-year-old has been a regular in Birmingham's reserve team in recent years, but has thus far been unable to make the step into the senior squad.

"We've had Graham in for training. He's out of contract in the summer and Birmingham have been good enough to let us have a look at him," Ward told the Bristol Evening Post.

It is understood that a host of lower league clubs are also monitoring his progress.
