The Liverpool keeper has been training with Paul Jewell's side, after returning from his season-long loan with West Brom.

"Chris is a top quality goalkeeper, he is a very imposing figure who can command his box, and he combines that with a tremendous shot-stopping ability," said Jewell.

"At 25 he still hasn't reached his prime yet as a keeper, I think, and he has the potential to go on and have a great career in the game."
