Moroccan on loan at City

[Beefy]

Bristol City have taken former Coventry midfielder Faysal El-Idrissi on trial.

The 28-year-old Moroccan left the Ricoh Arena just before the end of August after making just two first-team appearances in his month-long stay.

But he netted for City's reserves against Plymouth on Tuesday, and boss Gary Johnson told the club website: "We believe Faysal has some ability.

"We have given him an extended trial period because we haven't been able to take a close look at him until now."

El-Idrissi has previously had spells with seven other clubs - Lille, RE Mouscron, CD Santa Clara, FC Groningen, SK Ronse, FC Saarbucken and Al Nasr Dubai.
