UNDER-21 players from four Corporate Area clubs will on Thursday have an opportunity to earn an overseas contract or trial if they impress former Reggae Boy Altimont Butler, who heads a panel of officials from Norwegian division one club Nottoden FK at a one-day stint at Harbour View FC, starting at 5:30 pm.
Butler, who is the academy coach at Notodden, will arrive in the island on Thursday and has asked to see the talents of host club Harbour View, along with U-21 League champions Arnett Gardens, Tivoli Gardens and Waterhouse.

The four teams, who have all confirmed their participation, are asked to be at the venue by 5:00 pm. They will play each other in a round-robin format of three 30-minute matches, which will all be officiat ed by certified officials.
According to Harbour View's general manager Clyde Jureidini, the event will last three to four hours, and they expect thorough media coverage from Cable News and Sports (CNS) cable channel, KLAS FM and the Jamaica Observer newspaper.
He said the travelling contingent did not specify their needs (type of player) for this trip, but pointed out that these same persons also act as scouts for other clubs in Norway seeking to improve their squads, or to add new talent.
As a result, players will still have a chance of picking up a later deal in that country, even if they do not make the grade on Thursday.
Jureidini said these youngsters should be looking to follow in the footsteps of Waterhouse's Andrae Campbell and Portmore's Tremaine Stewart, among others, who have made the move to the Scandinavian country in recent times.
