City have been holding talks with Trinidad and Tobago international Clint Marcelle with a view to him signing a contract. The ex-Barnsley striker, 31, trained with the Tigers squad yesterday and attended the 1-0 Worthington Cup win over Notts County. Marcelle joined Barnsley from Portugeuse club Felgueiras at the start of the 1996-97 season. He made 85 appearances for the Tykes, scoring 9 goals. He was loaned to South Bank tossers Scunthorpe in October last year, and returned to Oakwell after making 10 appearances for the Scunts.

Brian Little tried to sign Marcelle for West Brom in February, but the deal collapsed when his work permit renewal was rejected. The Port of Spain born forward turned out for Goole in a pre season friendly against a Tigers XI last month, it was believed that appearance was arranged so Brian Little could run the rule over the player, but a transfer embargo thwarted any attempts to sign him at the time.
