who were the trialists?

Yeovil fielded several trialists yesterday afternoon, but who exactly were they?

Kevin Lacroix replaced Paul Huntington in the heart of defence yesterday, after playing for Eintracht Trier last season, in the German fourth division, the equivalent of League Two. 

Kevin has played 55 times for Eintracht in the last two seasons, scoring three goals in the process.

In midfield, appeared Billy Knott and Sam Hewson. Billy was previously at Chelsea, and was at Stamford Bridge since the age of 14, where he was also on the books at West Ham.

Billy can certainly be described as versatile, being able to play on both wings or central and also being able to operate at left back. Impressive for someone at the tender age of 17.

Former Manchester United midfielder Hewson was released by the Red Devils over the summer, but is able to boast league experience, after spending time at League Two sides Hereford United and Bury. Whilst at Hereford in January 2009, Sam netted 3 times in ten appearances, showing his ability to find the net.
