Former Preston North End midfielder Seyfo Soley has been without a club
since leaving the Lilywhites in 2007, although he has had trials with
the likes of Premier League club Stoke City and SPL side Motherwell.
Recently, Norwich City manager Glenn Roeder offered the 28-year-old Gambian the chance to earn a deal with the Canaries. Soley is hopeful that he has done enough to impress staff at the East Anglian club to ofer him a permanent deal.
"I am very proud to be on trial at Norwich City," Soley stated.
It seems that Soley is quite confident of winning a contract, adding: "Hopefully I will convince them to give me a contract, and with the help of God and my talent it should not be a problem."
"I am experienced enough."
Meanwhile, midfielder David Bell, who was signed from Leicester City in the summer, made his debut in the defeat to Derby County at Carrow Road before the international break after returning from injury.
Bell admits he can not wait to get back into the thick of things again and is targeting regular first team football now he has overcome his injury problems.
With regard to the international break, Bell said: "It was very frustrating, I got my foot back in the door back from injury, I got a taste of it out on the pitch and I wanted to get some more time."
He feels that the level of competition for places in the squad can only work in the team's favour, commeting: "When you get competition for places it puts a bit more pressure on the players so they know they have to perform to stay in the team."
"Sometimes when you don't have competition you can take your foot off the gas because you know you'll be playing next week no matter what. Competition for places definitely raises the bar for personal performances."
"I think Crofty's (Lee Croft) been in good form this season and it's down to me to get my place back in the team and keep that."
