Bossu's back in England on trial

Last updated : 20 October 2009 By Andy Van Hagen

Dario Gradi at Crewe Alexandra has taken Bertrand Bossu on trial as Alex look for a new first-choice keeper. He will play in their reserve fixture Vs Birmingham on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old Frenchman joined Aberdeen after leaving Walsall but left the Scots in August having failed to dislodge first-choice Jamie Langfield.

The Frenchman, who had previous league spells in England with Walsall, Accrington Stanley, Darlington, Barnet and Gillingham, had slid further down the pecking order at Aberdeenfollowing the summer signing of Stuart Nelson from Norwich City. Since first arriving in the UK in 2000, Bossu has only made himself first choice at Hayes and Yeading, where he made 36 appearances. For all his other clubs he made only a total 26 first team appearances, 4 of which were off the bench.

At Walsall he joined the single appearance club, when he covered for Clayton Ince and kept a clean sheet at Chester City in front of 1000 travelling Saddlers on a Friday Night.
