Bolton have handed a trial to former Roma and Marseille defender Stefan Popescu, who is currently without a club.

Popescu is a free agent after leaving Ajaccio earlier this month, just six months after joining the Ligue 1 side from Marseille.

The 20-year-old, who has represented his country at under-17, 19 and 21 levels, played 80 minutes as Wanderers' development squad beat Aston Villa 3-2 on Monday evening.

As well as spells at Roma, Marseille and Ajaccio, Popescu also had an unsuccessful time at Italian side Cesena in 2011/12.
