German midfielder Timur Ozgoz will not be offered a deal by Saints boss Danny Lennon. The former youth international appeared against Crusaders and Derry City as a trialist this week, but failed to do enough to earn a contract.

Ozgoz, who can play through the middle or on the left, was with Tennis Borussia Berlin last season alongside defender Michael Laletin, who was on trial at the Buddies a few months ago. However, like his pal, he won't be at the club next season.

The fact we're still bringing in trialists, even if they aren't up to scratch, suggests Lennon is still trying to add to the squad before the new season begins against Dundee United a week on Saturday.
