Alex boss to check again on Razak

Gudjon Thordarson is to take further checks on both his three Alex trialists

Crewe Alexandra are considering striker Hamdi Razak after the trialist scored twice in Sunday's 7-0 win over Newcastle Town.

The 23-year-old Frenchman is currently unattached after being released by League One club Swindon Town in May.

Alex boss Gudjon Thordarson told BBC Radio Stoke: "He took his goals very well and is worth another look."

Crewe also giving trials to former Swindon midfielder Michael Pook and ex-MK Dons defender Nathan Koo-Boothe.

Thordarson added that he was pleased with his side's opening pre-season friendly.

"It was a good run-out," he said. "Newcastle are always good hosts.

"They treat us well and they always try to play the right way. I thought it was a good opening game.

"I was pleased that we managed to score some goals and I was pleased with the strikers who got them. That will give them a bit of confidence. "

The other Alex goals came from new vice-captain Anthony Elding (2) Calvin Zola (2) and Clayton Donaldson.
