SAM Magri has been on trial with Crystal Palace's Development Squad in recent weeks and it looks like the Eagles are set to take an extended look at the centre-back.
The pre-season friendly against Dulwich Hamlet on Tuesday appeared to be Magri's final chance of making an impression, but the former Portsmouth and QPR man is now set to feature against Forest Green Rovers on Saturday and in the newly-arranged fixture at Bromley on Tuesday.
"It's just ongoing with Sam," Palace Academy boss Gary Issott told the Advertiser.
"A lot of trialists have come and gone in the time we've been back but Sam is still here.
"He's going to make it a tough decision for us but at the minute there is no final comment on him.
"We're looking to give everyone 90 minutes now. We play Fulham next Friday after Bromley on Tuesday.
"We have the link with Mark Goldberg at Bromley and they wanted a game and we've done our best to help.
"We could actually do with that game because it will give players 90 minutes if they don't play at Forest Green.
"It's important they play Tuesday. After Fulham, we start our new season around ten days after that."
