Bristol City midfielder George Dowling is being put through his paces on trial at League of Ireland side Derry City.
The 20 year-old who has been training with the Candy Stripes this week in a bid to earn a place with the Irish side.
And he has made quite an impression with Derry City manager Declan Devine.
Speaking to the Derry Journal, Devine said: “George Dowling was in for a couple of days," he confirmed. "George is coming back from an injury and he's been over to have a look and we've had a look at him.
"He's done quite well. It's very difficult to come in when you don't know a lot of people and perform to a level he is capable of.
“You can see he's a top player and a player that has had experience playing in the Championship but again, we can't do anything until July 1st [when the League of Ireland transfer window opens]."
Dowling has made two Championship appearances for the Robins off the bench back in 2016.
In 2017/18 Dowling went out on loan to Torquay United where he made 21 first team appearances, scoring two goals. Last season he spent time on loan at Eastleigh and Weston-Super-Mare in an injury hit season.
