THERE could be a new arrival in the Gigg Lane fold as York City right-back Andy McMillan is joining the club for a trial period with American striker Carlos Rocha heading in the opposite direction in a possible swap deal.

"We are short in the back positions, especially with Sam Collins missing and Andy Woodward picking up a groin strain on Saturday," said Warnock

"We'll have a look at Andy and just see how he fares in the reserves."

McMillan will feature in tonight's Manchester County Cup clash against Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park (7pm).

South-African born, the 31-year-old is second in the all-time appearances list at York. He has appeared in 492 games for the Minstermen, but is currently out of favour at Bootham Crescent with current manager Neil Thompson saying he has no future at the club.

He was transfer-listed at the end of last season after having a testimonial last year and has had trials with Carlisle, Scarborough and Lincoln recently.
