20-year-old Canadian striker Marcus Haber is currently spending four days training with Albion.

Haber is 6' 3" tall and currently plays for Vancouver Whitecaps, for whom he's scored 8 goals in 30 League appearances.  He has also played 21 times for Canada Under-20s, and three times for the Under-23s.

Before you get too excited, he's already had trials with Leeds United, Hartlepool United and Barnet - none of whom saw fit to offer him a contract.  He's also spent two seasons with FC Groningen of the Dutch Eredivisie.
