Ex-Gunner Paul tries to earn contract


Published on Monday 29 June 2009 16:52

Former Northampton Town loan defender Paul Rodgers will spend the pre-season period with the club in a bid to earn a contract.

Right-back Rodgers made one first-team appearance for Arsenal and spent the second half of last season on loan at Sixfields, making 11 appearances.

"I think Paul came on in leaps and bounds in his time with us last season and I am pleased he is coming back to train with us," said boss Stuart Gray.

"We need pace in the side and Paul brings that and we will have a look at him again over the next few weeks. I thought he helped set our tempo in the games against Orient and Scunthorpe when he was one of our better players.

"He went through the pain barrier for us in those games and he gave us energy and verve. He was injured in those games and we want to have a look at him over the next few weeks."
