YEOVIL midfielder James Berrett will be York City's third summer signing subject to a successful medical.

The Press have learned that the former Republic of Ireland under-21international has agreed terms with City, having been offered a termination of his two-year contract with the relegated Glovers.

Berrett will now sign for the Minstermen on his return from honeymoon next week.

The Halifax-born, 26-year-old started out at Huddersfield, where he made his full debut in a 2-1 FA Cup victory over then Premier League outfit Birmingham at the age of 18.

As well as playing in midfield for the Terriers, he also performed as a sweeper in a 5-3-2 formation but was put on the transfer list by Lee Clark before moving on to Carlisle in the summer of 2010.

Berrett netted ten times during each of his his first two campaigns with the Cumbrians, gaining a reputation for spectacular long-range strikes and for his ability as a set-piece taker.

He signed a two-year deal with Yeovil last summer and, after an injury-plagued start to the season, made 32 appearances and scored one goal prior to being made available for transfer by new boss Paul Sturrock.

As a young player, Berrett represented the Republic of Ireland's U18 and U19 teams before going on to win five caps at U21 level.

During his club career, he has netted 30 times in 271 games and has always plied his trade at League One level.

Hartlepool keeper Scott Flinders, meanwhile, is expected to stay at the Victoria Ground despite City chief Russ Wilcox declaring an interest in his services.
