Daggers chance for Brian
Brian Woodall
Gresley FC's Brian Woodall will this week get the opportunity to try and make the step up into the professional ranks of the game as he has been asked to go on a three day trial at League One side Dagenham and Redbridge.
The Daggers have watched Woodall a few times recently and last week approached the club about taking a closer look at him in a trial situation which has been arranged for later this week. On the news manager Gary Norton said: "We got a phone call last week asking about Brian's situation and whether he would be available to go down there on a trial. They had heard good reports about him and so sent their own scouts to take a look and must have liked what they saw as they want to take a closer look at him.
"He's been playing reasonably well recently, without perhaps being at his best so that can only be a good thing for him in the fact that that they haven't yet seen the best of him. He's a lovely lad and we are really pleased for him to get such an opportunity. Brian's a very talented lad and he's got all the raw ingredients needed to be playing a lot higher than he is. Who knows, he could possibly get that chance in league football with Dagenham and Redbridge? There's no way we would stand in his way of a chance like this and we wish him well for his trial."
