Phil Parkinson will cast an eye on a possible recruit later today as he considers City's first loan move of the season.

The City chief will not reveal the identity of the player but intends to watch them in action. It is thought he is trailing a winger to cover Kyel Reid's absence.

Parkinson said: "He's a player I like and I'm going to check his fitness out.

"It's a possiblity but it's got to be somebody who is ready to come in and make an impact.

"We're reasonably happy with our lot but we always want to improve as well. If that means bringing somebody in, then so be it.

"If it doesn't, we'll go with what we've got and people will continue to get chances."
