Former Nottingham Forest pair Joe Heath and James Reid are training with the Grecians this week.

21-year-old left-back Heath and 19-year-old left-winger/creative midfielder Reid were both released by Forest three weeks ago and a decision on their futures will be made at the end of this week.

Director of Football Steve Perryman said today: "We are looking forward to seeing them in training this week but they are unavailable for tomorrow's Devon Bowl match at Ilfracombe.

"We will take a look at them this week but it is important to remember that with trailists they are assessing the club as much as the club are assessing them."

Reid in action for Forest

Winger Reid came through the youth system at the City Ground and played for England at Under 17, 18 and 19 level. He made just the one appearance for Forest during the 08/09 season.

He spent the first half of this season on loan at Rushden & Diamonds, scoring twice in four starts before being released in January.

Left-back Heath came through the youth system at Manchester United and after being released from Old Trafford he joined Forest in 2007. He made 12 appearances in the Championship last season, including ten starts, before joining Lincoln City on loan in the summer.

A change of manager and an injury restricted him to just 4 appearances at Sincil Bank and he was released on the same day as Reid after returning to the City Ground.
