Blackwell invites French defender for trial

Blackwell is still short of cover at right-back and Calve, 26, is available on a free transfer from French club AS Nancy.

He was due to play for the Blades last night in a friendly against Notts County along with defender Kerrea Gilbert who is still on trial with the Blades after being released by Arsenal.

Former Sheffield Wednesday winger Chris Brunt has signed a new three-year deal with West Bromwich Albion.

The Northern Ireland international joined Albion three years ago from Wednesday in a 3m deal and has been involved in two promotions and one relegation during his time at The Hawthorns.

Tranmere have signed former Owls striker Enoch Showunmi on a two-year deal.
