Young Stoke striker Adam Rooney has been allowed to go on trial at SPL Inverne s Caledonian Thistle with a view to a season long loan move. The Irish striker first featured in the Stoke first team in the latter part of the 2005/2006 season, scoring four goals Miye Oni Jersey , including a hat-trick at Brighton in Stokes 5-1 win on the final day of the season. Mike Conley Jersey He is the youngest ever player to have scored a hat-trick for the Potters. The twenty year old also scored Citys third in the 3-0 friendly victory over Newcastle Town yesterday. However, despite his bright start, Adam has found first team opportunities hard to come by and spent the majority of the 2006/2007 season on loan at Yeovil and last term had spells at League Two sides Chesterfield and Bury, particularly impre sing at Chesterfield,scoring six times Justin Wright-Foreman Jersey in 22 appearances for the Saltergate club, many from the wing. Tony Pulis clearly feels that although Rooney has potential, he is not yet ready to perform on the biggest stage Emmanuel Mudiay Jersey and another season spent on loan, perhaps at a slightly higher level than previously, would aid his development. I, and I am sure the majority of Stoke fans, would share this view, as we have rarely yet seen much quality from Rooney recently, following his early promise. Karl Malone Jersey I would hope Rooney willget amongst the goalsduring his time in Scotland, and will come back a better player for it. As I reported previously, the club also confirmed today that Demar Phillips is on trial at Oldham and Ryan Shotton and Richie De Laet are at Bournemouth, all with views to completing loan moves.
