Southampton invite Hamon to more trials

JAMES HAMON will face the toughest examination of his young football career yet as he travels for his second round of Southampton trials.

The 15-year-old St Martin’s goalkeeper, whose father Chris was a multiple Muratti keeper, first went away back in May to play for the League One club’s under-15 academy side, where he kept a clean sheet in a 4-0 win over Yeovil Town.

Although he had little to do that day for his shut-out, coaches were impressed enough to invite him back for a week of both training and matches, starting on Monday.

This time, he will be involved with the club’s under-16 academy side, after his recent birthday, and will train at Winchester College.
