PAUL Trollope says Bristol Rovers will be prepared to have

another look at Jamaican international Richard Langley –

despite the midfielder limping out of a trial game with the

club yesterday.

The 28-year-old former QPR, Cardiff City and Luton Town

player strained a hamstring midway through the first-half of

the reserve team's 3-0 defeat by the Bluebirds in a Memorial

Stadium friendly.

Langley, released by the Hatters last season, has made 264

league appearances and has also been looked at by Hereford

United and Cheltenham Town

"Richard has been at a number of clubs in recent weeks and

we didn't realise until after he picked up the injury that he'd

had a hard session at Gilllingham yesterday," said Pirates'

coach Trollope.

"He gave a good little cameo appearance and it's something

we may look at again in the future.

"He has proven quality, he's played a lot of international

games and he needs a chance somewhere.

"He has strained his hamstring, but we may well look at

things again when he is fit."

Rovers' director of football Lennie Lawrence paid £200,000

to take Langley to Cardiff City from QPR in 2003 while in

charge at Ninian Park.

The Londoner spent two seasons with the Welsh club before

returning to Loftus Road, where he had first come up through

the youth ranks.

Rovers expect to complete the £60,000 signing of Jo Kuffour

today after agreeing terms with the Bournemouth striker.

"Negotiations have gone well and things are all agreed. We

hope Jo will train with us today, have a medical and then put

pen to paper. It's all in place and we just need to tie things

up," added Trollope.

Rovers also handed another outing to trialist Liam Harwood,

a defender from Carshalton, in yesterday's friendly, and

right-back Ryan Green played more than an hour as he continued

his comeback from a hamstring problem.

"It was a much-needed 90 minutes for some of the players who

have been on the fringes," said Trollope. "Ryan gave us a good

hour and although he wasn't really tested for spells, it was

good that he came through unscathed."

Rovers did suffer casualties among their youngsters though

with Charlie Reece damaging ankle ligaments and Charlie Clough

forced off with a dead leg.

Striker Josh Klein-Davies partnered Ben Hunt up front having

returning to the club after his loan spell at Luton Town was

cut short.

"Josh found it a bit tough going at Luton. He can't be

involved with us this weekend because it's still within the

first month of his loan, and he may well be loaned on somewhere

else when he's available," said Trollope. "We also have James

Fraser back from Lewes and these friendly games give us a

chance to keep an eye on some of the youngsters who have been

out on loan to see how they are progressing."

Cardiff took a fifth-minute lead when Hungarian

international Gabor Gyepes headed home Jon Brown's cross, but

the former Wolves central defender squandered a chance for his

second after the break when keeper Mike Green saved his spot

kick, awarded after Harwood had crudely brought down Brown.

Welsh Under-21 Brown broke through to slot home number two

with 15 minutes left before Leigh Smith added a third.

Rovers' best chances fell to substitute Joe White and

Klein-Davies after the break, but neither were able to beat

former Aston Villa keeper Peter Enckelman.

Rovers fans heading to Leeds by train this weekend are being

warned that engineering work means they will have to be bussed

between Derby and Sheffield, adding around an hour to the

journey.

Rovers have a limited amount of restricted view seats for

the Elland Road clash left on sale.
