TRANMERE Rovers' new signing Akpo Sodje could make his first appearance for the club tonight when they take on Altrincham in a pre-season friendly.

The striker will be joined in Ronnie Moore's squad by striker Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro and goalkeepr Owain Fon Williams for the match at The J Davidson Stadium, which kicks off at 7.30pm.

Fon Williams and Akpa Akpro are back in training following injury.

Boss Ronnie Moore has reduced the number of trialists in his squad and could give several of his team the full 90 minutes as he looks to improve match fitness ahead of the season.

Moore’s next chance to assess his squad in action is at The J. Davidson Stadium tonight.

The club has won its first four pre-season friendlies following a 2-0 win over Marine at the weekend.

Striker Ryan Lowe's eighth goal in pre-season and Jake Kirby's third took Ronnie Moore's squad to victory on Saturday.

It followed a 5-0 drubbing of Rhyl at the club’s Belle Vue ground on Friday night.

Last Tuesday, Lowe scored his fifth and sixth goals of pre-season as Tranmere came from behind to defeat Heswall 4-1 at Gayton Park.

And he scored four of the goals that earned the side a 9-0 victory of Cammell Laird’s at Kirklands on Monday night.

Rovers' pre-season continues on Saturday they will be facing Accrington Stanley.

Ronnie Moore says that only three trialists remain at Prenton Park following the weekend’s games.

Nine players featured on a trial basis in the matches at Rhyl and Marine but the majority are no longer training with the Club.

The manager said: "We let a few go after the game on Saturday and we’ve kept James Rowe, Shaun Jeffers and Leon McSweeney.

"We'll have another look at them this week. Rowe is very similar to Max Power, he has good energy and he sees the pass.

"We'll probably make a decision on them after the game at Accrington."

Moore’s next chance to assess his squad in action is at Altrincham tonight.

The game could see defender Ian Goodison and Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro make their first appearances of pre-season.

Moore also revealed yesterday that Inter Milan striker Bocar Djumo will join the club in training this week, with a view to signing a contract.

He added: "He's costing us nothing and he’s here for a month for us to look at and if we fancy him we can take him until the end of the season or until January.

"He's a left footed striker who can also play wide on the left. We’ve got nothing to lose and maybe an awful lot to gain."
