Cuple of the academy lads on trial at York City - not a bad idea (see below):
City check out Leicester duo
By Dave Flett
Comment
YORK City boss Billy McEwan ran the rule over Leicester City teenagers Andy King and Carl Pentney during last night's 5-0 friendly win at Sheffield FC.
Midfielder King played the first 45 minutes at last season's Northern Counties East League champions while goalkeeper Pentney was introduced as a half-time substitute for Tom Evans during a game in which Richard Brodie (2), Stuart Elliott, Onome Sodje and Manny Panther found the net.
King and Pentney were both members of Leicester's FA Premier League Group B' title-winning academy side last season.
King scored eight goals in 21 appearances for the young Foxes while Pentney enjoyed 20 outings and both players were rewarded with professional contracts, meaning manager Martin Allen is only likely to sanction a loan move to the Minstermen.
But City boss McEwan has not indicated that he will be making any decisions yet, simply saying: "We had a look at the two young boys from Leicester and they both did OK."
