Five clubs Danny Rose could join after training with National League club ahead of return to football
FREE AGENT Danny Rose could have his pick of several clubs as he plots his next move.
The former England left-back, 32, has been without a club since having his contract mutually terminated at Watford in September.

He did punditry for Sky Sports last week on old club Tottenham as they crashed out of the Champions League against AC Milan.
Rose racked up 214 appearances for Spurs during 13 seasons at the club.
In that time he had loan spells at Sunderland, Newcastle, Bristol City, Peterborough and Watford.
He also earned 29 caps for his country and played five times at the 2018 World Cup.
The left-back signed for the Hornets on a free transfer two summers ago but made just nine appearances as the Hertfordshire side.
They were relegated to the Championship last season and now he is unemployed and free to join any club interested.
Here are five possible destinations:

YORK CITY
We revealed that Rose, who is from Doncaster, Yorkshire, has been training with the National League side with a view to building up his fitness at this stage.
They are currently managed by interim boss Michael Morton, who joined the club in December as assistant manager, having previously spent time as Youth Development Phase Lead coach at Leeds.
He joined the Whites in 2005 while Rose was coming through at the club and is now tasked with pulling the Minsterman up the table, where they are currently 18th.
And the introduction of an ex-Premier League defender could be just the tonic he needs.
SUNDERLAND
Rose already has experience of playing for the Black Cats, who are pushing to try and reach the Championship play-offs.
Boss Tony Mowbray could view the addition of the left-back as worthwhile for the run-in – and it is not too far away from his Doncaster home.
DONCASTER ROVERS
Which brings us to his hometown club.
Rose will undoubtedly have higher aspirations than League Two, but he has previously revealed how he has missed living in the north to Sun Sport.
But if Rovers could persuade him, then he could get a short-term fix at his local side.
INTER MIAMI
David Beckham’s side love and ex-Prem ace or two and would provide an attractive proposition for Rose if they were keen.
But the standard of the MLS could be a factor, along with the fact that it is thousands of miles away from his Donny home.
AEK ATHENS
The Greek club were linked with a swoop for Rose back in September.
Even though that failed to materialise, if he continues to build up his fitness, they could come in for him again.
