Tranmere Rovers set to offer contract to impressive trialist

Tranmere Rovers boss Les Parry has today revealed that he is set to offer Nick Wood a contract at Prenton Park, following an impressive trial on the Wirral.

19-year old Wood, who was released by Sheffield Wednesday this summer, made his Rovers debut against Nottingham Forest last week, when he scored the opening goal and partnered Ian Goodison at centre-back, helping Tranmere to keep a clean sheet.

Wood, who spent a brief period on trial at Carlisle this summer, then partnered Goodison again on Saturday when Tranmere travelled to Mansfield, and despite Rovers conceding a late goal to draw 1-1, Wood still impressed Rovers boss Les Parry, who is on the look out for cover in defence, where he is currently without Timothy Cathalina, Marlon Broomes and Ashton Taylor, who all signed new contracts with the club this summer.
Despite never making a first team appearance at Hillsborough, Wood is believed to have impressed in the youth and reserve teams for the Owls, whilst his family have footballing pedigree, with brother Richard a regular at centre-back for Wednesday for six years before a loan move to Coventry in 2009, a deal made permanent in January 2010.
Wood is set to play again in Tranmere's friendly against Chester tomorrow evening, with Les Parry hopeful that the 19-year old will pen a deal with the lcub soon.
Parry has also revealed that he is set to have a long think on the future of striker Bakary Bojang, who has been on trial at the club for several weeks now, producing mixed reports, whilst full-back Matthew Hollyoak, who played in the 1-1 draw at Mansfield on Saturday, is also set to get another run out against Chester this week.

Looks like we have our center defense pairing. Team is starting to take shape.

Keeper: Neilsen
Defense:Goodison and Wood in the middle of defense, Cathalina and Bakayogo on the flanks.
Midfield: Ladabie, Welsh, Mahon, Fraughan
Forwards: Gornell, Thomas-Moore (capt)

Something like that. Goodison is the old man, everyone else is young
