Emile Heskey's team-mate Craig Goodwin jets in for Reading trial
AUSTRALIAN full-back Craig Goodwin, who plays with ex-England striker Emile Heskey for Newcastle Jets, has been offered a two-week trial with Premier League side Reading.
The 21-year-old has made 25 appearances for the Jets this season but could now be set for a dream move to the Premier League.
Goodwin admitted in a club statement: "I can't express enough how great an opportunity it is.
"You don't get these chances every day, so for myself to have this chance is something I'm very thankful for.
"I don't have any expectations. It will be great to learn and experience the game over there.
"I'm the fittest I have ever been at the moment."
