Forest Green Rovers manager, Mark Cooper during the EFL Sky Bet League 2 match between Macclesfield Town and Forest Green Rovers at Moss Rose, Macclesfield, United Kingdom on 29 September 2018.
FOREST Green Rovers boss Mark Cooper is running the rule over former West Bromwich Albion man Noah Smerdon and ex-Middlesbrough winger Junior Mondal.
The duo are playing for Rovers on trial this afternoon at the Central League fixture against Plymouth Argyle.
Mondal, 21, is currently at Evo-Stik Northern Premier Division side Whitby Town. He was linked with a move to Sunderland and Grimsby Town earlier in the season.
Meanwhile, 18-year-old Smerdon is currently at Gloucester City. The left-back recently had a trial at Premier League Watford and Tigers boss Chris Todd has tipped him for a bright future in the game.
