Middlesbrough have taken Croatian international Jurica Vranjes on trial along with former Blackpool man Malaury Martin.
Both players are available on free transfers and have linked up with the Boro squad as pre-season training began on Thursday.
31-year-old Vranjes has 26 caps to his name and spent most of his career playing in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen,
Stuttgart and Werder Bremen.
He spent last season with Genclerbirligi in Turkey, and was linked
with a move back to his first ever club NK Osijek - but now he is
linking up with Boro.
