Striker Georgi Hristov has been handed a trial with De Graafschap.

"He will train with us next week," confirmed technical manager Ron Olyslager.

"He has no club at the moment so if we want to sign him he can play immediately."

The 28-year-old Macedonian international moved to Holland to join NEC Nijmegen in the summer of 2000, after leaving Barnsley.

He enjoyed a strong first season scoring 15 goals in 25 games and was a target for Ajax but a series of injuries proved serious.

Hristov moved to Zwolle but another knee injury meant he played rarely.
