On trial goalkeeper Luke Simpson in action for York City against Bolton Wanderers
FORMER Watford goalkeeper Luke Simpson impressed on trial for York City today against Bolton Wanderers.
Simpson, 21, played for just over an hour as York lost 2-0 to the League One club at Bootham Crescent.
Manager Jackie McNamara had kept details of Simpson's arrival under wraps prior to the game and he was listed only as a 'trialist' on the teamsheet.
Afterwards, however, McNamara praised Simpson's performance and confirmed that a decision on his future was imminent.
Released by Watford this summer, Simpson started his career at Oldham Athletic and has also played for Workington and Accrington Stanley.
He spent a period on loan at champions Leicester City in 2014-15 but failed to make an appearance.
