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.
