Justin Cochrane on trial

Last updated : 16 May 2003 By Site Staff
Justin Cochrane signed for Hayes in summer 2002 from QPR, where he made just 2 appearences, and after a decent season he's on the verge of signing for the Alex. Justin is the triallist the official site refused to name.

He played 3 friendlies in the Alex reserves' against Rushden and Bolton. Assistant manager, Neil Baker, says he had "a difficult time against a strong Bolton side" but despite that he has invited him to join pre-season training. Justin could be the 3rd non-league star to sign in as many years, joining Luke Varney and Steve Jones, a real sign of the Alex taking a look at grass roots stars - a route many other clubs refuse to take notice of.
