Roker Roundup: Released Sunderland keeper signing for Leeds? Transfer target trains with Bolton

Johnstone to Leeds?

Former Sunderland goalkeeper Max Johnstone appears to have joined Championship side Leeds United on trial.

The 20-year-old spent a year at Sunderland before being released in the summer and started for Leeds yesterday in their friendly against Tadcaster Albion as he hopes to earn a contract for the forthcoming season.

Target training with Bolton

Harry Brockbank was expected to leave troubled Bolton Wanderers this summer, with Jack Ross reportedly keen to bring the defender to the Stadium of Light.

He is out of contract with Bolton this summer and the uncertainty surrounding the club’s future has put discussions over his future on hold, despite manager Phil Parkinson wanting any prospective new owners to tie the defender down to a new contract as a priority.

The Bolton News claim the 20-year-old is keen to stay with the club, has been training with the team over the last couple of weeks and even featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Al-Ittihad on Monday afternoon.
