Omar Colley undergoes trial in Germany Published on Friday, 15 November 2013 16:18 | Written by Sulayman Bah By Sulayman Bah Gambia defender, Omar Colley, is trying new pastures after a one-year spell in Finland as he undergoes trial in Germany, Foroyaa Sport gathers. Colley spends just one season in his two-year deal with Finnish giants KuPS, but is considering a new challenge following the end of the domestic league in Finland. The 21-year-old joined struggling German second tier outfit Arminia Bielefeld this week and kick-starts his trial today with a view to sign a contract. Arminia –in their first year in the second division from the third tier – are a single point above bottom table occupant Energie Cottbus picking fourteen points in fourteen league matches enduring eight losses with a patchy defence line – an appalling start blamed on injuries. In an effort to tackle the biting defence crisis threatening to undermine the stuttering club audacious amibition to stay up, gaffer Kramer is mulling on an emergency bolstering with the Gambian, a considered option. While Finnish outfit KuPS offered no explanation on the circumstance surrounding the erstwhile Wallidan stopper’s on-going test at Bielefeld, it is believed the ex-Gambia U-17 and Scorpions man reached an understanding with his current side on grounds the Finnish premier league wouldn’t start until next year. If, in any case, Colley pictured above signs, the deal will be on a short-term to fill the void and ease Coach Kramers’ backline woes ravaged by injuries. Omar turned professional in January penning a two-year contract from local club Real De Banjul after years of attempts without success with a gargantuan of foreign clubs. He came close to brokering an agreement with Major League Soccer’s Kansas City in 2011 had it not for disagreement over transfer fee.
