OXFORD United have handed a trial to ex-AS Monaco Under 21 player Gaetan Lenoir.

The 20-year-old came on as a substitute in the 4-0 win at Thame United on Tuesday and is training with the club this week.

U's boss Michael Appleton is hoping Lenoir will be able to stay long enough to have another look at him in a game against Reading Under 21s next Tuesday.

He said: "The chairman (Darryl Eales) had contact with his agent initially and it got passed on to me.

"I’ve followed it up and we’ve got him in for a few days to have a look.

"He’s done alright and he’s quite tenacious. He looks the part so far.

"I’m looking forward to seeing him and hopefully he’ll stick around and play on Tuesday."
