CHERRIES are running the rule over prolific non-league hotshot Ashley Nadesan from Horley Town.

The striker has hit 55 goals for the Combined Counties League outfit this season and has caught the eye of John Yems, who is responsible for football operations at Vitality Stadium.

Nadesan, who works at McDonald’s in Redhill, has attracted the attention of a number of clubs and spent last week on trial at Millwall.

The 21-year-old joined Cherries yesterday and lined up in a friendly against Icelandic club Fylkir, who are managed by former Portsmouth star Hermann Hreidarsson.

Nadesan played 70 minutes as Cherries ran out 1-0 winners thanks to Sam Matthews’s finely-taken free-kick at Canford Arena.

He is set to spend the rest of the week training with Stephen Purches’s under-21 squad before heading to Norwich for a pre-arranged trial.

Nadesan’s agent Darren Lewis told the Surrey Mirror: “Millwall really liked Ashley and wanted to sit down and talk but they didn't want him to trial elsewhere.

“I'd already given my word that Ashley would go to Norwich and I think it's important for him to see what's out there and not be rushed into making a decision."

Lewis claims two Football League clubs have already made firm offers for Nadesan and is looking for a minimum two-year contract for the east Surrey-based player.
