AFC Telford United boss Andy Sinton is ready to offer a non-contract deal to former Walsall full-back Netan Sansara in a bid to strengthen his defensive cover.

The 6ft left-back made 27 appearances for the Saddlers before his release from the Banks’s Stadium at the end of last season.

He started this term with Scottish League division one side Dundee but only had one outing at Dens Park before heading back south of the border to try his luck with the Bucks.

Sansara, 21, featured in Tuesday’s second string friendly against Rushall Olympic and would offer cover for Sean Newton should he sign – though Sinton insists he is in no hurry to complete a deal.

“I’m going to speak to him at training tonight and any offer would be on a non-contract basis for the first month at least,” he said.

“If Netan goes for it we will put him on a form. He can play as a left-sided centre-half as well with his extra pace.

“We’ve got Will Salmon who can play left-back just as well as he plays right-back, but we have no real cover so that would be a bonus.”

Meanwhile, Sinton will check on the fitness of Andy Brown this evening, the striker having been forced off with an ankle injury at half-time of Saturday’s FA Cup victory over Stourbridge.

Loan winger Greg Mills also went off in that one with a hip problem, though he is recovering well.

“We’re hopeful that Andy will be okay for the Worcester game on Saturday but we’ll have a better idea when we see him at training,” said the Telford chief.

“Greg trained on Tuesday, he did a light session with the lads who didn’t play in the Rushall game and he came through okay.”
