Luton trial for Pettigrew

Kevin Blackwell has handed a trial to Chelsea youngster Adrian Pettigrew. The 6' Centre back turned out for the mixed reserve and youth side which beat Hemel Hempstead 3-2 in last night's friendly.

The 20-year-old spent a month on loan at Wycombe last season, but onlt made 1 appearance, and would clearly be one for the future at this stage if he impresses.

Also noteworthy from the match was that Joel Grant played a part which contradicts Kevin Blackwell's statement last week that he had dismissed all the trialists who were present at that time, and was not pursuing his interest in them, apart from Martin Brittain, who did not accept an offer from the Town. However, he had a trial after he left, with Carlisle and to date it seems that Brittain is still unattached.

Meanwhile, The Luton News reports that Blackwell had stated that he was still in talks yesterday with the Centre back mentioned last week but not named, and that it looks positive and he hopes he will sign. He commented that Luton fans will be impressed when they know who he is, and that we will know him. He also said that he was hoping to bring in a goalkeeper before the week is out.
