Former AC Milan man trialling at Everton
Former AC Milan defender Felipe Mattioni Rohde has been trialling with the club with a view to sealing a permanent deal on Merseyside.
The 26 year old Brazilian right-back made an appearance for Everton Under 21’s in a 3-1 victory against Norwich Under 21’s at Southports Merseyrail Stadium earlier in the week and will spend time “working with the club”.
The defender has suffered a torrid time with injuries over the last few seasons and is currently available on a free transfer having left Espanyol in the summer.
Mattioni has been plagued by injuries throughout his career – making just 13 league appearances for Gremio, 10 for Espanyol, 20 for Mallorca and a solitary appearance on loan for AC Milan in 2009 which lasted barely a minute.
