Former Motherwell midfielder Steve Jennings is holding talks with Coventry City, BBC Scotland has learned.
The midfielder rejected a new contract with the Scottish Premier League club and is now a free agent.
Coventry, relegated to League One last season, who has Jennings on trial this week, have made no offer as yet, and other English clubs are interested in the player.
Aberdeen manager Craig Brown was also reported to be keen on the 27-year-old, but made no offer.
Liverpool-born Jennings began his career at Tranmere Rovers, making 140 league appearances for the Wirral club.
He moved to Motherwell in 2009, appearing 112 times for the Steelmen, scoring three times.
Lite info om Jennings från en Motherwell-fan...
"Just been talking to my eldest son. He is pissed off he is leaving Motherwell. My son has been a season tiket holder for years with Motherwell. They have just had their best season for years and Jennings is one of the reasons why.
He says he is not tall, but always gives 100% and is never scared to put the boot in. Loves taking shots from long range as he has a good right foot on him. Motherwell have scored a fair few from the rebounds. He is a CM who likes going forward and starting off attacks and has a good cross on him. Motherwell are in Europe this coming year and he would be choosing us over playing in Europe "
Jennings var 2011 involverad i en spelskandal där spelare spelat stora summor på sig själva att bli utvisade.
"The Association of British Bookmakers investigated "suspicious betting patterns" on a red card being shown to Jennings for dissent during a game in December 2010. Jennings was arrested, along with eight other men, on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud in October 2011. A week later, his club confirmed that he would continue to be available for first-team selection. Merseyside Police advised Jennings in April 2012 that their inquiries had ceased and that no further action would be taken. His solicitor said that Jennings felt vindicated in believing that there had been no criminal activity. After the police ended their investigation, Motherwell manager Stuart McCall criticised unnamed Scottish football officials who had suggested that Jennings should have been suspended while under suspicion."
