Ex-Norwich City man joins on trial
As per BBC reporter Matt Dean, former Norwich forward Pierre Fonkeu has linked up with the Mariners on trial.
The 23-year-old has been without a club since the summer when he left Bulgarian side PFC Beroe.
It isn’t the first time Fonkeu has trained with Grimsby. Prior to lockdown, the forward spent time training with Holloway’s side ahead of a potential move but nothing materialised.
Fonkeu’s career so far
The Cameroon youth international started out in the youth academy of Belgian side Club Brugge. He left without making a senior appearance for the club, joining the Canaries in the summer of 2017.
Fonkeu spent two years at Carrow Road, scoring five goals in 19 games for Norwich’s Under-23s side.
He left to join French side RC Lens, where he stayed for less than a year before moving to Bulgaria in February this year.
