Grimsby manager Alan Buckley will run the rule over trialist Nicky Nicolau in a specially-arranged friendly at Winterton Rangers on Tuesday.Buckley wants to take a closer look at the former Southend winger and also hopes to give a run out to Danny Boshell and Robbie Stockdale, who are returning from injury.

Nicolau, 24, has spent a week training with the Mariners first-team squad.

Buckley told the Grimsby Telegraph: "Nicky has looked good in training on the ball and he's worked hard.

"But it's always better to judge a player once you've seen him in action during a game and that was one of the reasons we wanted to get a friendly match arranged."
