CARDIFF City boss Lennie Lawrence was keeping his cards close to his chest last night after Lee Bullock's three-day trial at Ninian Park.

Lawrence admitted that he was impressed by the City midfielder but appears undecided whether he would like to pursue a transfer now or wait until the end of the season.

The former Luton and Bradford boss said: "Lee Bullock had done well and is an interesting one. He's definitely not crossed off the list which often happens when people come in but whether I am going to pursue it at this very moment is something I have to weigh up.

"It's a tricky one but even if I do not pursue it now that does not mean it won't get done in the course of time. We have got quite a few central midfielders at the moment and I don't want to do it just for the sake of it but he looks useful and a lot of aspects of his game are very good - one or two need to improve but that's what's expected at 22."
