Rams take winger on trial

Paul Jewell is watching former Reading winger John Oster go through his paces with Derby.

The 29-year-old was released by Steve Coppell at the end of last season and now Jewell is watching him train with the rest of his squad at Moor Farm with a view to handing the player a short-term deal.

The Wales international was released by the Royals after 18 appearances for them last season in the Premiership but he could not prevent them joining both Derby and Birmingham in the drop to the Championship.
