Search for fresh football talent
Budding football players can audition for the international Pakistan team at trials in South Yorkshire.

The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) is looking for players of Pakistani heritage at Rotherham United's Millmoor Ground on Saturday.

Scouts from around England will also be there, to find Asian talent to recruit.

Naveed Haider, from the PFF, said: "An excellent calibre of players exists in the UK and this is an opportunity for them to show off their talents."

The PFF trials are the first of their kind in the UK and could see successful players signed to play in Pakistan for domestic leagues or the national team.

Selected footballers will be invited back on Sunday for further trials.
