The midfielder, who is playing only senior football this season with Jersey Scottish, has had his trial set up by Jersey referee and St Paul’s under-16 coach Joao-Paulo Martins who is currently in Madeira.

Weir, who is 17 on Monday, had trials last summer with Reading, Glasgow Rangers and Cardiff City.

Weir, the son of Jersey Football Association president Ricky, is to train with the Portuguese League top flight club while being accommodated with Martins’ family on the island.
