Another 'keeper linked

Last updated : 08 July 2009 By Rick Lamb
Norwich coach Ian Crook's Australian contacts could come to some use as former Melbourne Victory goalkeeper Michael Theoklitos has reportedly joined the Canaries on trial.

Theoklitos, 28, shown below distinguishing himself by stamping on an opponent and getting himself sent off, is available on a free transfer. He played a couple of times for Blackpool seven years ago, but the spell was cut short by injury.

More recently, he was A-League goalkeeper of the year in 2007 and 2008 and helped Melbourne to Grand Final glory last term, leading to an international call-up. Despite this, he has yet to appear for Australia and could switch allegiance to Greece.

Bryan Gunn, who should know a decent goalkeeper, has also been linked with Birmingham's Colin Doyle on loan, ex-Charlton and Manchester City man Nicky Weaver on a free transfer and, through a complicated series of assumptions, Crystal Palace's Darryl Flahavan.
