Skiverton is looking for an experienced goalkeeper

Yeovil manager Terry Skiverton said he will monitor Nikki Bull's availability after it was confirmed the goalkeeper will be leaving Aldershot.

The 27-year-old will leave the League Two side at the end of the month.

"He is someone that interests me. He's a good goalkeeper at a good age and he's got great league experience," Skiverton told BBC Somerset.

Yeovil plan to offer Richard Martin a deal after the former Manchester City keeper impressed on trial.

The 21-year-old played in both of Yeovil's matches on the club's pre-season tour in North Devon, and Skiverton hopes to have agreed a deal by the end of the week.

"He's going to be good for the future, and he's had a great upbringing at Manchester City. I am looking at him being the number two.

"I've been really impressed with what he's done so far. He's an excellent shot-stopper but there's still a couple of areas he's got to work on in his game.

"For us it's very much a development contract and he's someone I'd be looking at getting into the team in the future."

Yeovil have released another keeper, Arran Lee-Barrett, and defender Niall McArdle after trials.

But former Aston Villa striker Sam Williams looks set for an extended stay at Huish Park. The 22-year-old scored against Grimsby on Friday night.

"He's a young lad with a lot to work on but he's done well so far. We don't want it to be a flash in the pan so I want to see him over a week or two," added Skiverton.

"I know his agent well so if there would be a chance of doing something I wouldn't see a problem."
