Dons Take Pair On Trial

Last updated : 05 July 2010 By Stand Free Ed

ABERDEEN have two new faces at pre-season training, as Conor Okus and Ryan Jones arrived at the club on trial.

Anglo-Nigerian Okus, 18, is a powerful midfielder who has been released by Premiership club West Ham United.

The goalscoring midfielder had a difficult time with injuries during the season, having been invited to train with the first-team squad by manager Gianfranco Zola last summer.

Okus, whose favourite player of all time is Nigeria legend Jay Jay Okocha, scored twice in nine appearances at Under-18 level in 2009/10.

Goalkeeper Ryan Jones was released by Leeds at the end of his second year as an apprentice.

The 18-year-old product of the Liverpool Academy moved to Wigan and then Leeds, where he featured on the bench for a number of times last season before being released.
