Birmingham trials for Slovenia pair

Birmingham City have handed trials to Slovenian pair Rok Sirk and Miha Blazic.

The 16-year-old duo have both played for Slovenia's Under 17s and are currently with Slovenian champions Maribor.

The pair travelled to England to spend some days training with Birmingham's Academy set-up and they also played in a friendly game.

Sirk's manager, Nusret Jashari, believes the Blues have been impressed and claimed the youngster could make a permanent move to the club in the summer.

"For Rok, this is a great opportunity," Jashari told Nogomania.

"It is hard to say anything at this moment but I can confirm that Birmingham City are really satisfied with the effort Rok Sirk has made.

"If Maribor and Birmingham City can find an agreement, then a transfer could be made at the end of the season."
