ACCRINGTON Stanley boss John Coleman is hoping to bring in Blackburn Rovers strker Jamie Clarke on loan until the the end of the year.

The 19-year-old Academy hitman is expected to pen a short-term deal despite the change of manager at Ewood Park.

Meanwhile, Coleman is still running the rule over a number of trialists, including former Sunderland striker John Mullin, former Wigan defender Peter Moore and Jimmy Ryan, from Shrewsbury.
