Luton Town have offered a deal to former Sunderland defender Lewis Gibbons.
Former Sunderland U18 captain Gibbons' contract was ripped up after being slapped with a two-year ban by the Football Association for testing positive for cocaine and cannabis in a random test after a 2012 U18 league match against Aston Villa.
The defender joined Durham City AFC following the end of his ban, but spent a week training with the Hatters who will now take him on.
Luton boss John Still told Luton Today: "He's a young boy, but someone that I know, knows him well and he was very highly-rated as a young man at Sunderland.
"Like lots of young men he did something really stupid. Well, we've all done stupid things, but for two years the boy has done nothing but training and wait to see if he can get back in the game.
"We've had him in for a week and we will be doing something, yes."
